I received this punishment
for that one joke about posting addresses.
If you really believe that, that's part of the problem.
You got punished for a whole raft of reasons, mostly for being a total jerk. And go look at some of the things you said about Bob during his last times here, and realize that he is now an owner of this operation, and ask yourself why on earth he should pay his good money to give you the right to post free all over the boards.
