Should Menelaus still be around here?

[Bagpuss]

I think - what bugged me the most was he came back as Menelaus and tried to ingratiate himself all over again not giving a tulip about the fact he'd duped us all once already.

You are right, he could have come back as anyone, which makes me wonder is he getting off on the notoriety?

I know CM, I think that is what is getting to everyone.

I think what I'm trying to say is, I strongly suspect (I don't want to go into why) that his train of thought will differ extremely differently from the likes of me and thee.

In his mind, I suspect he has done literally nothing wrong, and will therefore see nothing wrong with coming back.

I’m glad that we have judges to sort these matters out instead of Daily Wail readers. The guy has been punished and served his time. Shutting him out could simply aggravate his problems, while keeping him around here might give some insight into the kind of person who does what he did, as well as showing that there is evil AND good in everyone, and that it is quite possible for a convict to become a decent individual. That insight might serve to make us all a little more humane in our judgment of others, and that can’t be a bad thing.

I don't think that is the case - at least, I fluffing hope not.

If he'd come back as someone else and was found out he'd be accused of conning people again. If he comes back as the original character he's accused of not giving a tulip about what he's done.

I say leave the guy alone. He's paid for his misdeeds in the slammer and he took the inevitable ribbing he got on here. We all know who he is, if you don't want to interact with him then don't.

So the solution is not to come back? Moreover, perhaps there is a condition not to contact victims? I would have thought so.

That's what I said. He was going to get a ribbing and he did. Or should we have just kept quiet? Now I think we should let him get on with his life such as it is.
