Same here. Lately, I’ve been checking the main Breaking News thread once a day or so, but that’s about it. I don’t see that guy’s posts anymore, but the threads that he had decided to take over were thus reduced to posts by others trying to refute him.

I believe Colibri said forum. He’s banned from the entire forum, not just individual threads. So there’s that.

Well, in the four days since Colibri issued that forum ban, he hasn’t made a single post on the board. Given how prolific he was in QZ, and the fact that he didn’t post in any other forum anymore, either he’s decided to give himself a cooling-off period, or he’s pissed that his hobby horse has been taken away from him, and he’s left.

Poor guy! He’ll have to stop endangering people’s lives with his anti-COVID propaganda. He’ll have to find some other outlet to spread his dangerous misinformation.

That’s odd - I noticed he hasn’t been back. Or that he had posted in any other forum to begin with.

Look at the way @Colibri worded the post,

> “Given this, and continual complaints about your behavior, I’m hereby **banning you from this forum**. **Do not make any further posts** in this thread, or **in this forum** , or you will receive a warning.”

It may not have been clear the ban was limited only to QZ.

I don’t mind letting this one go, but I thought it was worth pointing out to avoid future misunderstandings.

If he was banned from the board, he would have said board. He then would have banned and not been able to log into his account.

It wouldn’t even make any sense to threaten someone who had been banned from the forum with a warning, I have no idea how anyone could possibly interpret that as not being limited to QZ.

If he still had any confusion, he has the option to contact a moderator to get clarification.

I don’t think that there is any real danger of future misunderstandings.

Those sufficiently unfamiliar with the nomenclature here can see “forum” and think it applies to the entire board. This has happened before.

Um, it was.

I probably meant - back to this messageboard.

Fair enough, you know what they say:

“SayTwo is an ignorant fuckstick of the highest order.”

While no reasonable person would make that mistake, in that they are still able to log into the board in order to see said forum ban, and that they are threatened with a warning if they violate that ban, I can see how it is plausible that SayTwo could be a high enough order of an ignorant fuckstick to think that it applied to the entire board.

More likely though, it is that he only got enjoyment out of trolling that forum, and since he is no longer allowed to do that, he no longer comes here under that username.

To be fair, someone assuming “forum” means “the entire board” here would have to be a relatively recent arrival from a message board where “forum” does mean the entire board.

Agreed.

Just thought I’d check back in to see if some of you are still wetting the bed at night about covid. Or still hiding under it.

Either way - I do sincerely hope that you all have survived! Can’t be too careful out there, you know. Stay safe. Stay very, very safe.
