Pulling the “angry young man” schtick all the time, and reacting to folk around here like someone of 13 or below. That was his theme. And so he was damned for it. I do agree with **Lynn**. ---

Was this post the immediate cause of the banning? ---

Heh. Cool, **gluteus maximus**. Was wondering what the heck “phi” had to do with it. 🙂 And it was the straw that finally snapped the camel’s back in two, **KidCharlemagne** , ---

**KidCharlemagne** , have a browse back through KK’s posts (most of his threads are in the Pit)… you’ll get the idea pretty quick. ---

> [@KidCharlemagne](#): > > What was the banning offense? I am getting good at predicting impending doom! 🙂 **KidCharlemagne** : The final straw was that he had a signature that contained references to drug use, one referred to injecting the stuff. Kurk Kobain (why bother to bold his name) was so dense, that he ignored warnings that the sig was easy to interpret as encouraging drug use. Interesting to see that the board software allows moderators to remove only the post sig and not the post, this is what is happening in the linked thread; just imagine an idiotic sig under **all** his posts. ---

215 posts in such a short time. _sniff_ He was so young. He had so much more adolescent assholesome fuckwipery to share. Kurdt, we hardly lik—I mean, we hardly knew ye. 😃 ---

Take my posts, for instance. I have no sig, so it looks like I’m shutting it off, when in fact I simply don’t have one. ---

> [@gluteus maximus](#): > > Hey! I thought Lynn said no more art! I’m not sure if this qualifies, since it’s one line in a sig and not multiple lines of mono-spaced ASCII. It’s been my sig for quite a while now, and nobody’s said anything. (Though it’s only recently popped up again with the auto-sig routine on the new board software.) ---
