Why did you ban him, Moderators? He was clearly a rising star, but you snuffed him out before he got a chance to shine.

::cue funeral march music::

_sniff_ I knew him but briefly, and in that time I found him to be… erm… slightly annoying.

Does anyone really care?

Strange, it shows up on my browser as 2147483647.

That bastard probably robbled the rest of the numbers from your browser before he got banned.

Hamburglar was a poster posting as the fictionial burger kleptomaniac the hamburgler from mcdonalds commercials. I believe he was assumed to be a troll/ attention seeker because all he posted was quotes of other peoples posts with the i’s or vowels removed and pit threads about how ronald macdonald screwed him.  
He will truly be missed. ☹

[He also posted about how he was being stalked by Wendy.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165943) I don’t think that set very well with the Mods.

Did you mean to leave out that last “e” from (what I assume to be) “crime”?
