Hey, who are you going to believe, Cecil or Sister John Chysostom, the nun who taught 6th-grade religion class? Cecil might be smarter, but I’ll bet he isn’t scarier.

First of all, I’ve just finished reading all six pages of this thread, downloading 4 and 5 due to the Rocky Horror parodies and references to The Church of the Subgenius (PRAISE BOB!).

But on a totally different note - and please forgive me if this is bad netitquette but I don’t know what else I can do - can anyone tell me why my all-time favorite poster, Satan, is now BANNED from the boards?!?! I can understand why DaneilintheWolvesDen would be banned - he could be abbrasive at times - but Satan was such a cool guy, so witty, so well-spoken and, even in the heat of argument, a gentleman. So you can see why I’m confussed.

Since posting the answer here might be further dodgy netiquette, please write me at [p\_marvel@yahoo.com](mailto:p_marvel@yahoo.com) . Thanks.

Sincerely,  
Patty

Use the search engine to search for **Satan.** When you find one of his posts, click on his profile. On his profile page, click on “Last Post.” After that post, he was banned. (I’d advise using the search engine in the evening when board traffic is at a minimum. It can be frustrating during the busiest part of the day.)

Shorter answer is he lost his cool and called someone some bad names after being repeatedly warned to stop.

Somehow it seems very appropriate to be discussing casting out **Satan** in this thread…

Thanks, jab1! I was doing it the hard way - just lokking through every single thread he posted to in the last month. It takes a while…
