He hasn’t been banned, he’s just taking a frickin’ sabbatical. His post count stands. ---

About whatever the fuck you were talking about. BTW it looks like we’re done with all the **Handy** discussion here, so any passing Mod should feel free to kill this thread. ---

I think if nothing else he had a strong interest in reading the topics in GQ. \*\* Um, I was lead to believe that those that have been banned cannot access the board at all. (even to read) This may be faux. I ceed to all mods/admins on this issue, but I am curious. /hijack ---

I’m pretty sure they can read the boards, but they’d have to sign out first, I think. Then it would be like any passing guest reading it. ---

It was suggested to me that a particular ISP could be blocked. ---

some one banned can’t ‘sign in’, I would assume. A banned person can indeed read, but cannot post nor search. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-all-happy-now-handy-has-been-banned/215227.md?page=7)
