Sound right. Was he also the “tactical pants” guy? ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > Either way, he was an interesting one. If I recall correctly, he was some sort of expert on the Middle East, its countries’ politics, culture, religion, and so on; and could offer an informed point of view on those topics. Problem was (again, as I recall), that he wasn’t always the most diplomatic of posters when it came to refuting positions that other posters held–some of his responses in GD and IMHO were more appropriate for the Pit. He could be a real jerk, and I get why he got banned. But he sure provided a point of view we really don’t see here. Smart too. Shame he couldn’t control himself. ---

Yeah, there have been various smart people with considerable expertise in certain topics who added much to the board when they behaved themselves, but went off the rails one too many times. Them’s the rules. ---

But it might not be open for “hanging out and using wifi”. And she probably has better stuff to do. I hope she’s okay. I miss @Quagdop\_the\_mercatan (sp?) He popped into the memorial thread, but I haven’t seen him posting much. He was one of my favorites. I think he said he doesn’t enjoy the new format. ---

[@Satan](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/satan/summary) is someone I miss. He was banned back in '01, so his time here was relatively short, but he was very prolific and made an early impact on the board.
