Why Was BenzGirl/BillyBob Banned?

Was there a reason other than him being banned a long time ago?

If when he came back and didn't violate any rules since coming back, can't by gones be by gones?

I'm not getting on the moderator's cases here, just wanting to know if he did or said something in his most recent visit that warranted being banned?

Just askin'

Are you aware that Benzgirl tallied up two red card infractions in the 72 hours since "she" revived her presence in Open Discussion? Bygones be bygones, my arse. But don't worry Larry, he's already back on the forum under a new name.

In the same tone Larry, why not have Skid Row Joe back?
I kind off miss all the info about Warren B.

The forum has mellowed a lot over this year.
Probably a reflection of the skills of the current mods.

If I wasnt so lazy I would start a poll about BB & SRJ returning. Though I suspect the PP mafia would have a field day voting against them.

You should start a campaign of flattering and snuggling up to the moderators at every possible opportunity. Perhaps they'll start seeing things your way.

No I was NOT aware that he/she got red card infractions. I read back through his/her posts since 2008 and didn't see anything that appeared to be infraction worthy.

That's why I asked.

What was said that was infraction worthy?

BB was originally and then again and again and again banned for not playing well with others.

That's a whole lot of activity in 2 months for a newbie.

Be careful how far that rabbit hole you go...you just may be figured out.

I dont "snuggle up" to any one on here. I just say it how it is.
Maybe some should take their own advice.

Glad to see that opinions about a death penalty are changing and that there is growing belief that self rehabilitation and reform are possible even for the worst offenders.
