He's quite upset that you banned him. He's saying that you banned him outside the warning/ban system, and that he didn't have any warnings prior to the ban. I just re-read the rules, and it really didn't say anything about banning people who didn't have five warnings. What is the policy regarding banning people prior to five warnings? He also denies trolling outside of the red/gray forums. Thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks, and you may now commence with the slamming.
As much as I don't give a crap about that guy, I tend to agree. Aside from leaving his negro-ted comments everywhere, he was just being his usually charming self. If we can put up with JohnM, we can put up with this guy's low-brow antics. 1/2 a thumb down to the decision to ban him. (Because I don't really care either way, I just find it a bit surprising.)
Normally, I'd agree with Scorp, but the problem is that his low-brow trolling was all over the board via his signature, not just the red and gray rooms. Take that, and his refusal to change it, and I can't muster any sympathy. We've had many questionable bans and warnings, this one just doesn't seem to make that grade.
Not only that he has been contributing nothing but trolling and flaming, which is grounds for a ban. Go ahead and look up his posts...you will be hard put to find anything else. His option now is to e-mail Elwood and negotiate a possible return with him. Elwood@wordforge.net

I see in my crystal ball a flurry or viagra spam in Smokey's account. Now, as to which ones are spam, and which ones are genuinely wanted... who's to say?
