    He probably was Castle but was there any proof?

    Consider this: If it was Castle (and all signs point to yes [thank you, Magic 8 Ball]), he didn't ask the owners if he could come back (and we can be reached fairly easily!) and he hid behind a VPN. Granted, the presumptive answer is easy to guess, but it would have at least generated the discussion.
    If it wasn't Castle, this person existed at the behest of the owners (and I know you won't like that answer. Tough). From the uncanny similarities to Castle's posting style, you can surmise what happened.

    If you did it to circumvent a previous ban, and your new account came in trolling with no prior contribution, probably yes.

    We'll worry about it if you ever seem smart enough to figure out how to do it.

    So what's the plan? Are you going to give Castle or gturner your account and tell him to claim it's still you, just with a VPN? :chris:

    :lol:

    No, I am just saying using a VPN is hardly a good excuse to ban someone. It seems paranoid to go around banning people just because they use a VPN but I guess paranoia is the order of the day with the current regime. It's kind of sad.

    I believe it was a combination of the VPN and their posting style being so similar to Castles. I assumed it was Castle without knowing about the VPN. :shrug:

    Well, that is true. The posting style was similar to Castle.

    I suppose it's not totally inconceivable that someone is having fun by making duals that sound like Castle trying unsuccessfully to adopt a different writing style, then slipping randomly in and out of character...

    Actually, that could be kind of fun.

    Notice El Chup posted in the TK thread about this. Maybe it was Chuppie. I thought he had sworn off hate boards like WF but there he is at TK.
