[QUOTE=zuma] Can you give an example of a banned poster who you’d like to see one last post from? I’m not really getting this. [/QUOTE] Well, JDT is one example. And how about The Grapist? (The Grapist’s thing was quoting random posts, coloring the text purple, and saying “This post was Graped by the Grapist!” An opportunity to look inside the mind of this person might have been illuminating (probably not, though). Funny stuff, IMHO. The operative part of that last bit is _IMHO_. I find humor in unexpected places, I guess. ---

> [@](#): > > I mean, imagine this: the Mods approach Jack Dean Tyler and tell him he’s gonna be banned, but he can author one last thread/post, summarizing his position or whatnot. Wouldn’t work. He doesn’t have a whatnot any more, remember? ---

Yeah. Thing is, poke around and you’ll find plenty of places where banned posters are able to fire off one last manifesto before fading into the outer darkness. No links provided, but these places aren’t exactly top secret. ---

(The Grapist’s thing was quoting random posts, coloring the text purple, and saying “This post was Graped by the Grapist!” An opportunity to look inside the mind of this person might have been illuminating (probably not, though). The point is that these people had already had plenty of opportunity to post anything interesting and informative they had to say. People get banned because their posts have hit rock bottom. ---

Personally I am just glad that someone who is actually banned posted in this thread. ---
