Grude has been banned for apparent socking, although we have been unable to communicate with him recently. Pending that, it may stay that way, in which case, the title will be edited to take out the “for now”.

Since **grude** has failed to communicate with us in a reasonable amount of time, we have concluded that he was engaged in socking. I have changed the title accordingly.
