If a Homo Interneticus wants to break free from his/her [Internet Addiction Disorder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_addiction_disorder), they may want to get banned. Like an alcoholic trying to stop drinking. ---

Sometimes people accidentally leave themselves logged in, which can lead to … interesting … messages being left. And sometimes the mods decide to just ban us all. 🙂 ---

Yeah, there was the person referred to above (not by name) who went out of his/ her way to get banned. There was also another guy who explicitly asked to be banned and revealed a number of sock accounts (undetected) at the same time. ---

It is kind of a demented source of fun to guess when a new poster is going to be banned. You begin to see the lines they cross and hotspots they cheerfully pounce on without care or remorse before they’re exiled. ---

I thought most banned posters hit the submit button when they would be over the legal limit to drive, but a medication imbalance seems plausible. ---
