So, is **Huey Freeman** going to be unbanned anytime soon? Since the big rationale behind \*his \*banning was that he mostly posted in the Pit and targeted invective at other posters:

> [@Huey Freeman is banned](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/huey-freeman-is-banned/828587/1):

> So, why is he banned now? When we started discussing him in the mod loop in response to the ATMB thread, I took a look at his posting history, and it turns out he hasn’t posted anywhere on the board except for the Pit since October, excepting a couple posts he made to the ATMB thread about him today. And, near as I could tell, 100% of those Pit posts were attacking other posters. As it turns out, we [have a Pit rule that explicitly covers that behavior](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=507985):
> 
> Three months and change of posting nothing on the board but invective-filled screeds against other posters seems about as clear a violation of that rule as you could ask for.

Or is it only OK if you’re a precious Right Wing snowflake?
