    He went because he was warned against specific behaviour. Then carried on.

    It's persistent irritating behaviour that gets you banned. Which should have expired by now...
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      You're assuming he didn't start posting as someone else within 20mins of his ban?

        MP says his suggestion that OG leans towards being a peado is worthy of a ban yet seems to be less offended at the suggestion that Craic enjoys an incestuous relationship with an adult entertainer.
        No threat of a ban to the posters of those remarks. Gang bullied with support from admin.

        Just saying like.
        It's all in the balance, really. If he was annoying but added a bit of value in any small way, perhaps he'd be easier to tolerate.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          He was dull and contentious without even having the redeeming features of being humourous or original. His brief forays into sarcasm involved recycling other people's material, and he had even resorted to duplication in that.
          One dimensional and mind-numbingly tedious really. We shall miss him about as much as we'd miss toothache.

            At least he's getting the attention he so badly needs..

              There are any number of regulars on here who fit that description though.

              We are all at liberty to ignore the idiots.

              Not trying to be confrontational here, I agree he is an arse and deserved his ban, just noting that he had a point, a small one, but a point.

              where there's chaos, there's cash !

              I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                He may have had a point. But there's ways of getting your point across without being obnoxious.

                  I see and agree with your point to some extent. I suppose the difference with him was that he too insistent that the format and behaviours of "General" be radically altered to suit his agenda. A recipe for disaster really. It is far from perfect, but is not as bad as he was making out.

                    Not when you have been told multiple times that general is a bear pit and if you don't like it then you should leave.
                    A lot of the old hands get away with worse on a daily basis.

                      Well there is a pecking order here, and he didn't have a very big beak.
