The poster was dickish in an mswas-ish sort of way in the John Mayer thread; with 26 posts, it seemed a bit noobie-ish, but I didn’t read much more into it. Now I see he/she was banned… May I ask what happened? ---

PM a mod. Probably a sock. ---

He made a post that pretty much admitted to being a returning sock, so I am guessing that. ---

It was “Manny Peoples”, bumbling his way back after 10 years. He just couldn’t remember which account he was using. Marley banned both. ZSPHOBIASZ ZPHOBIAZ ---

> [@Dorothy\_Mantooth](#): > > Who is Manny Peoples? For those who have not had the displeasure, ZPHOBIAZ used to post on the AOL board, submitting long, incoherent posts that typically began _"Many people wonder, and now I ask. . . "_ except that in the midst of his drug addled incoherence, he always misspelled “many people” as the man’s name “Manny” along with adding a final “S” to people," thus picking up the nickname “Manny Peoples.” ---

I wish you to know that the name Phobia was my original name and in no way associated with the spate of modified phobias running rampant on this board.😛 ---

Oh, god, Manny Peoples came back? After ALL THIS TIME? Yow. We should have thrown a party.
