Larry, I don't understand why you take issue with this guy being thrown out of here. First, his agenda is obviously destruction of this place. You can get evidence for that conclusion by looking at the guy's own posts over the last year or so in r.g.c.c. This may not be reason to throw him out, but I don't think it's reason to waste much effort supporting him, either. Second, he was caught red-handed trying to destroy the place. He had nominated a moderator candidate, predicted his candidate would win in a landslide, and when there was a problem with this nomination, he used four different accounts (at least) to try to create an apparent ground swell of public support for his candidate, so the nomination would go forward. This raised some suspicions, and upon investigation it was found that he had at least 91 accounts, which certainly sounds like a potential landslide in the making. What can possibly be worse than this? It took around a hundred votes to be elected moderator last time. If someone hadn't caught this, it's possible that Sean could have essentially chosen his own personal moderator, and possibly more than one. What does the guy have to do before you'll admit that he is something of a disruption, Larry? You are on the moderator candidate list. What would you have done here? bruce
