The moderators thought Graham's "case" was ridiculous. We didn't think his
offense justifies a red card, but we needed to make him shut up for a while, as
he was all over the message board. Since he didn't have a valid email address,
ignored requests to provide a valid one or contact the moderators, his account
was barred. He would have been reinstated a long time ago if we could figure out
how to contact him.
