I just came from the GQ board where it became obvious that username MadHatter had his/her posting privileges revoked. It is also obvious that he/she is posting under pseudonyms containing MadHatt as an anagram. Why?

Why what? Why is he posting under other names? You’ll have to ask him. I can’t answer that one.

Why was he banned initially? For repeated violation of our Golden Rule (patent pending), “Don’t be a jerk.”
