C’mon Marley. The guys bad breath is so bad he had to ask twice. Cut him a little bit of slack, or I’ll send him over to your house to breathe on you. ---

That’ll be useless. I’ve deployed breathmints around the grounds and dusted the stairs and doorknobs with Scope. ---

Maybe there were conjoined twins? ---

Should’ve asked each other then. And it was actually triplets. ---

I’m just curious how somebody could keep something secret for seven _years_ and then blow it by doing something like that? ---

That’s the kind of mystery that keeps me interested. 😉 Both posts were made in the wee hours of the morning, so I assumed liquor was involved. ---

How does one ban only one conjoined triplet? Or do the other two automatically show up as socks? Regards, Shodan ---

Not sure exactly what you mean there. It was obvious those two were the same person based on those posts, and in the process of doing background checks we found a third account.

Some people were offended because in Spanish, “Hombre” means … ah, forget it. ---

My impression was that he was banned in the second thread I linked to for dicking around with the mods, and was reinstated shortly thereafter.

Still, though… one would presume that somebody that gets drunk and does something like that gets drunk enough to do something like that, say, once a month. So there were around 100 opportunities for it to happen, and yet it never did. I’m simply amazed. I don’t have the inclination to read through all the threads posted, but a skim through made me chuckle, at least. ---

So there were around 100 opportunities for it to happen, and yet it never did. I’m simply amazed. Arguably some of those past threads could have been seen as giveaways, but they weren’t obvious errors (if this last one was an error). I know what you mean, though. ---

I wonder what the scene was like as he discovered each banning. He logs into the first account, “WTF?! I got banned! I’ll just log into this other account to find out what happened and . . . GUH!! Banned too! Good thing this handsome devil has yet another account! Muhahahah-- FUCK!” Still, does anyone think there’s a remote possibility that he won’t be back? Was he paying for all three through pay to post? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hombre-banning-question/483565.md?page=2)
