As long as I receive e-mail containing demands like...
"Leave me the fuck alone, restore my posting privileges, and fuck off."
...he'll remain banned.
It's a shame all this nonsense had to interrupt what is a very impressive project, but there's no way I'm going to spend the time and money it takes to keep this site running and then put up with his insane rants. Reading his comments at SA mentioning his situation in the same sentence as Miramax ruining good films and (get this) Nazis killing Jews, how can I take him seriously?
And no, I won't allow him to post updates via other members. That defeats the purpose of banning him, which is to cut off communication and remind him that he owes as much to this forum as this forum does to him. Respect goes both ways.
If he chooses to dig in his heels and finish up the project elsewhere, more power to him.
