I know he had a history of asking stupid questions easily answered by google but what was the final straw? Anyone know? ---

Maybe the mods are cleaning house for us as a Christmas present? I didn’t know s/he had been banned. Usually when there’s no announcement it’s because they’re a sock. ---

I see nothing in his recent postings that would necessarily result in a banning, so I’m assuming either he was recently discovered to be a sock puppet or he just registered a new sock of his own for whatever reason. ---

Considering that people seem to be confused about both, maybe **diggleblop** and **Ammonius** are one and the same? ---

**diggleblop** was banned because I jumped the gun. I thought there was a consensus when, in fact, there was not. I have lifted the ban. ---

Then you can probably close this thread, since it’s a moot question (for now). ---

Sure, but if they do it in THIS thread, it won’t count in the mod Pit stats since this isn’t a thread specifically pitting you. 😛 ---
