That was just a list of every single post he’s ever made. It might work if [you](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) do it, but I think he just made too many jerk posts. [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5216241#post5216241) comes to mind. ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Why’d \*\*nonpolar \*\*get banned? Pathetic, really. Every day, intelligent and articulate posters are banned from message boards simply for expressing views that are different from those authorized by the administrators, and you’re worried about why a pathetic jerk like **nonpolar** got banned? Get some perspective, man. OK, that wasn’t very good, but I’ve been looking for an excuse to do that. ---

I don’t think it was any one specific post, although his remarks in the originally referenced thread were probably the catalyst. I think it was more the totality of his posting pattern, i.e., he was pretty consistently being a jerk. The comments in **ETF** ’s thread were just the point where someone finally piped up and asked, “How long are we putting up with this shit, anyway?” ---

Well, totality doesn’t cut it, I think. He was warned specifically, and I’m just curious what post was the last straw. ---

Well, since he was told his posting priveleges were under review in the thread that spawned this one, I’d guess that post was the straw that broke the camel’s back. ---

Well, his last post in that thread wat this: > [@nonpolar](#): > > You people make me sick ☹ ,if it is so sad to loose horse, dog, or cat why having them?. From what I read all this heartbreak and whining is ONLY due to your vanity and snobism . > I thought many ,many times of buying dog or cat but then I realised that one day animal have to be put down and I would have live with huge guilt. > Very simple right?Only people who need dogs are blind or epileptics.And please tell me why you need horses?Do you work in field,I don’t think so. Now farmers have tractors,your horses are for you entertainment only, they are your toys nothing more.Why can’t you guys find other hobby, which does not require animals. Again, this doesn’t seem like a smoking gun, especially since there’s no mod followup to this post. ---

Yes, but nothing after that was bannable, IMO. Doesn’t “knock it off” imply an expectation of future behavior? If his fate was sealed, what’s the point of “knock it off”? ---

Seems to me, if a mod/admin says [one’s posting privileges are under discussion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5225417), that implies that one outcome could be banning with no further offenses required. In the face of that warning, **nonpolar** only two hours later starts [this thread in MPSIMS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=274109). Given **nonpolar’s** history on this board, I don’t find its banning surprising in the least. YM, as always, MV. ---

Ooh, while I’m thinking about it, **ETF** , have you considered having Nick cremated if he passes at his boarding facility? It would probably cost a bit, but I don’t know that it would be much more expensive than having a backhoe dig a grave for him.
