It’s his money, it’s his to spend how he chooses. The tragedy here is that he can’t schizophrenia drugs - not a few bucks throwing away trying to get back in here.
What’s the deal?
Could we leave my aging moosehood out of this discussion?
Hey! This is 'Merika, land of the free and home of The Exalted Profit Margin!
??? :dubious:
Uh, it appears the “deal” is Demorian was a sock-puppet alter-ego of a previously banned doper going by the name of Zagadka. My understanding is, if the refs throw you out, you stay out until they say you can go back. To use an analogy, if I was playing soccer, and got a red card, I’m not allowed to put on a different jersey bearing a different name and number, maybe change my haircut and beard, and start playing again. If the refs see through my disguise, they’re going to boot my ass out again, even if I didn’t commit another foul. The fact I’m on the field at all is an offense, because I don’t have permission to be.
If you’re asking “Loopy, what’s it to you, anyway, you noseybutt?” I’d say, well, I saw the guy get the boot, but I never saw the red card. Chances are I missed something, I’m simply curious about that, and hoping to get a replay; maybe even some color commentary while we’re at it.
Goddamn, I am known to blabber, but you just joined today and have 16 posts already?
Buh-bye.
He appears to have been maintaining multiple concurrent socks, I’d say it’s a fair bet that he is still on the boards one way or another. He seems pathologically unable to leave this place behind. Addictive personality maybe?
Yep. His socks are pretty easy to spot.
And how do we know you’re the real John Mace? huh? Huh?
Quick! who won the world series in 1935?
Which ones were his?
The argyle toe-socks.
No, those aren’t his. Zagadka’s socks are polkadotted. 
No, the polka-dot socks are mine.
Zagadka had the little footies with the pom-poms at the heels.
Nope, nope, nope. His are definately the “spotted” ones, remember?
Spotted like an owl? o_O
Why do you hate America?
A question to mods: what are some of the “tells” that give away a sock, besides emoticons and colors and other obvious things? I didn’t notice much of a similarity between Demorian and Zagadka’s writing styles, except for the o_O. Is it possible that someone who didn’t deserve it got banned at one point, only because of “similar” style or political views? I’d hate to think that I’d be under scrutiny because of the way I choose to string sentences together.
I’ll go with “loser.”
Do you really think they’re gonna tell?
I will say this: #1, there is software that can identify writing styles, #2 so can a smart reader, and #3 the mods can check IPs.
