Hard on the dude? He literally requested to be banned. This board recently endured a long series of posts by a real jerk, mainly because both sinbob and I were hesitant to use the power to ban someone unless it was really warranted. The board was brought down for a long time because of it. I learned my lesson. It won't happen again. As I said several times, keep the posts civil. You can point out negatives regarding the company, post your own opinions, argue with other posters, even have some heated discussions. But keep it civil. The ability to have intelligent discussions without some bozo chiming in calling people names and taunting them is what separates this board from the others. If you don't want to be civil, there are other boards available. But not this one.
RR can still post on other Agoracom boards, and as far as I know he can still PM me. If he wants back, I'll consider it.
