I thought much the same as you do, **enipla** , until I got to know him better. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, you won’t have that chance. Possibly your loss (mind, I do wish he’d calmed down) – but definitely, our gain.

You folk know him from 2 days of posting. I’ve known him from over a year on two boards. I’ll be glad to see him back there.

And I admin/moderate on both of 'em.

Just seconding what **Ice Wolf** said. I own a message board where **finn** is a member in good standing.

My first interaction with **finn** was to think he was a tiresome arsehole and to engage him in a massive flame war. Now he’s one of my favourite folks in the world of message boards. Not trying to convince you all otherwise necessarily - he screwed up here and was banned. I guess that was inevitable.

A square peg in a round hole is all, I guess. Happens sometimes. He’s a genuinely nice bloke though.

(Bolding mine)

Yeah, the circumstances being that he made absolutely no attempt to behave himself. Why use the passive voice? Whatever circumstances led to his banning he created entirely by himself. “Sewer rat might taste like punkin pie…”

I have no beef with the SDMB staff over this at all. He didn’t behave, he didn’t listen, and he held onto that chip I referred to earlier, **Contrapuntal**.

Fact of the matter is – he didn’t and couldn’t fit in around here in two days. Elsewhere, he’s doin’ just fine.
