I did not know that, well I did sort of. But to beat a dead horse, if he was
inclined to, all the aforementioned tactics could be easily worked around (I
assume, don't really know), so short of serving him with papers from a judge
he could still post here.
Yes, he could, but then we would find him again. As an example, when I
read Usenet I only show the Subject and Date stamp, I never see the
posters name unless I expose the headers (since it doesn't really matter
to me who is posting), but I'm able to see the little kids posts almost
every time because he doesn't change his ways. So, he would be reported
and blocked again.
As many of us know how Usenet works (although fewer and fewer each day),
we see it as more of a slap-on-the-hand type thing. It's not that he
can't post, it's that he had to do something different and can't use
that name again. If he comes back (and he has) under a new nick he can
post until he violates the charter again.
MS is under no obligation to let anyone post.
I say this because I am surprised(well not really) that all of the MVP's
here(and their sycophants) all got together and put enough pressure on the
powers that be and decided to ban this guy.
We didn't have to put any pressure on anyone at MS. He did himself in.
Now take Kurt.He gives somewhat good info but continuously rags on ms. Why
not ban him?
He has had posts removed - according to himself. He walks a very fine
line with them at times, but his actions are different that butts were.
Or how about that moron Andrew who probably has done more to
mess up peoples computers than anyone I know(exaggerating).Then there is
miss prepaous tick or whatever here name was, the most foul mouthed
worthless troll I have ever seen. (NO exaggeration there)
I wasn't here to see it so I don't know. I do know that you mentioned
several things, none of which should you get banned for.
Getting banned/posts yanked is not my call or yours, it's up to the MS
admins as it's there server.
For most of us, and people posting from non-MS servers, the ban/posts
don't have any impact as we still see anything posted from other servers
and his old posts.
