Re: Why are serial banned posters allowed back on the forum?
He did some good detective work, no doubt about that. However at times I think he crossed the line, digging around peoples personal lives & history (alive or dead) to an extent that it was borderline stalkerish behaviour. It always left me feeing a bit uneasy.

Hypocritical narcissist with a mean streak.
Probably brought up by a single parent or by a father in the military/police.

Gavin is a fantastic contributor who adds lots of relevant information to topics, particularly those threads with expats behaving badly who originate from Florida. He should be closer to being made a moderator than being banned.
Where is the post that he made that was hurtful? Must have been pretty heinous to get the reaction it is.

I also find it funny that at least one of the pitchfork bearers against GM have/had more sock accounts than most posters I see here or on 440, and frequently found those accounts banned because of repetitive trolling/pettiness and plain dull spam/copypasta.
GM is entertaining, even when he's picking at something, because it's always in character. It basically is the nature of his online persona to pick away at things and seize upon inconsistencies.
Use the block function for people who annoy the shit of you. Works well for me.

It takes a certain amount of courage to post what think and how you feel about stuff, and wear that record forever more.
Socks are cowards in my book.
but thats just imo.
ps, if CEO ever introduces that sock's wet dream, the Guest facility - i'm out.
A recent short stint over at TOF turned me off for life. Too many cheap-shot gutless socks posing as "guests".

I wonder if another alternative, instead of just banning such a person and their various alter-egos, would be to combine the identities under the original or most well known pseudonym?
The efforts at work around and avoidance might become more a waste of their energy and time as a result, while keeping the more informative contributions coming.
