I’ve been thinking that I haven’t seen any of his posts in quite a while. So I searched for posts made by handy and found his last post was last November. So, does anyone know what happened to handy? ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Yes, but why? Well, _some_ say for offering medical advice in direct contradiction to a standing mod injunction. Others say for being…uh…handy. And still others say it had something to do with giving medical advice after being told not to too many times. I tend to agree. ---

So, what happened to handy? 🙂 IMHO it’s a shame to ban him. He was so much fun. Who else could you ridicule as much? He may have given medical advice, but noone takes his posts seriously. ---

Crap. There goes the only other guy on the board who believes in Deaf Culture. So, why was he banned? ---

So, Handy’s banned? never met him, but he seemed to be a mouthpiece for The Human Ton, a sort of puppet, if you will… 😉 ---
