We don’t usually note Guests bannings in ATMB. Since this one may cause many posters to bug the mods with “who was he?” I’ve decided to post this here.

He’s probably SBSO, River Hister, others, ad nauseum.

We’re slow to ban anyone without some proof. I have it.

We tend to bend over backward to avoid banning a newbie who might just be a jerk, not a returning mega-jerk. In this case, it’s the MEGA.
