I was surprised to see the 'banned' moniker underneath his screename, and thought it must have been satire...until I saw his name on the ban-list, for a month. What does a member with so many posts, and such high standing, need to do in order to be barred from posting for a full lunar phase?

Why should anybody be above the law?

So the probability of a ban should be inversely proportional to the user's post count?

The point is, he has been here so long without a ban - so what precipitated it: a radical change in behaviour on part of spurious monkey, or a radical change in behaviour on part of the banning authorities?

Why do you care? You're not a member here. You said you "retired."

We really should have a policy that immediately bans anyone who starts one of those attention-seeking "goodbye" threads. At least for 6 mo.

The general feeling is that spuriousmonkey has been a very good contributor in the past, but he has ceased to be constructive of late. But don't take my word for it...you should read some of his revent posts compared to some of his older posts.

That is an idiotic, unscientific comment.

He was alright but he cannot take losing very well, you can't win them all.

Where are some links to the Monkey's offensive statements?
