LOL, I've gotta say I would love to see this. After you and your buds got him banned because you guys couldn't control your urges to break all the rules when posting in his threads, and after all the verbal abuse you heaped on him, he would be serving with you, armed. It would be even better if he saved your ass a time or two. I could see it in his blog: "I werked with Dr. Pete taday, saved his life. He still won't ride with me thow."

His complete inability to spell belies it, but I have to give him credit--he was a smarter, more capable troll than anyone gave him credit for at the time. I'm still mildly amused by the fact that there are people who really thought he was the innocent victim.
So what if I save his life? Oh, wait, never mind. That doesn't make for a funny story.

Never said I wouldn't ride with him. In fact he challenged me to a race, and I told him where he could find me.

Banned for life and he is still getting 2-pagers (maybe more). Incredible...
Not that there's anything wrong with that... :-\

I don't think there really was any public bannable behavior .... But some people got tired of him. I've seen worse from others who are still here.

He got banned because every time he posted, a flamewar would ensue. And each incident involved different sets of users.
In the end it was easier to ban one instigator than a sizeable group of responders.

What is this whole thing about weapons? Is he homicidal? Perhaps he is dropping acid.

If you drope too much acid, your guads shrink, so there's no whey he would do that.
Maybe he was banned on the assumption that he must be trolling, but in reality he's just like that.

Awesome -- old RyanF still hasn't lost his edge.
How anyone could have ever gotten po'd by his postings or let themselves act like a 12 yr old in their replies to him is beyond me.
