This is not something that happened years ago. It's something that has been ongoing for years. I have not counted, but my guess is that he's had at least ten accounts deleted for cause. His last "legal" account was about a year ago, so letting him back in has been tried. He lasted a very short time before he called us all stupid or something and left. Sometimes people don't know that it's Chris causing the trouble, because there's no announcement from the moderators that Chris was responsible. The guy is seriously bad news, and I've wasted enough time thinking about him already, and I'm not going to spend the next six months thinking about him. I hope that we get some new moderators next time. Perhaps one of them can be you, and you can invite him back and enjoy the consequences, be they good or ill. In the mean time, perhaps his own forum, the one where he refers to this one as the "fool's forum", is still open. I didn't look to see if he'd done anything this time. He's banned, so he goes. It is not necessary that he commit some number of fresh offenses with each new account. bruce On April 24, 2001 at 14:47:47, Fernando Villegas wrote: >Hi Bruce: >Just a question: in which ass Chris has been so awful a pain, this time?
