He requested deletion of his account but all his posts were retained. There is a warning procedure and other people would be involved in a banning when that occurs. It isn't a flip decision.

In this case, I would have preferred he continue to post on a moderated basis.

This is probably the wrong thing to say, but I'm glad to see him leave.

He was terrible here, and I like to think, maybe even with a little reason, that it wasn't fully reflective of his real self. I mean in person he was probably not like this (every once in a while even here he wasn't.) That happens in the online world, and after a few years of it you have to just hope that the person in question will get away. He shut the door and broke the lock, good luck to him.

I don't understand why he couldn't make his points without coating them with anger and contempt.

His posts were depressing. I'm not at all sorry he's gone.

I would remind all those celebrating the absence of a member's account that what goes around comes around. Vitriol is vitriol, no matter the source...and I guess now I've also joined the otiose-post club!Image

As far as I can see, if anyone's celebrating, they're doing it in private.

Meh, he made his choice. Wouldn't be the first person who got all pissed off, deleted all his posts, and got the hell out.

He wasn't willing to do that, and asked to be deleted
Having had some dealings with him, he was actually a very decent fellow.
