He has been directly told this more than once in the last month:

**Replying to someone in thread with an off-topic reply is not on-topic.**

For that thread he was directly told more than once:

> [@Frontrunners for Democratic presidential nomination in 2028](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/frontrunners-for-democratic-presidential-nomination-in-2028/1013036/2487):

> Drop it, all of you. Yet again, you are relitigating old issues about politicians who are _not frontrunners for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028_. No more.

> [@Frontrunners for Democratic presidential nomination in 2028](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/frontrunners-for-democratic-presidential-nomination-in-2028/1013036/2505):

> These are all hijacks from the topic at hand. @DrDeth, you seem to be on a hijacking kick again lately. Next one gets a warning.
> 
> All, please get back to the topic. Donald Trump has nothing to do with which Democrats are running for the presidential nomination in 2028.

Additionally he was informed how tenuous his posting privileges were after the WWI thread. He only avoided a warning and banning for that one as we decided to give him one more chance as he was baited. If you missed that, it started in his pit thread.

So really, that is not clear enough?  
Do you really think

> Biden was a great President.

Is not controversial? Or not about a non-candidate. He could have said being associated with Biden is probably not a negative for a Democratic Candidate, but instead, he went to a very debatable definitive statement.

And none of this is reviewing how many other modnotes in that thread were addressed to him.

Do you realize he causes more problems than almost any other poster?  
That he has already been given 2, 30 day suspensions. I’m not aware of anyone else that has gotten that.  
We have tried hard to keep him within the rules. Given him so many chances and notes.
