I have nothing against him either because he's definitely an earnest person.
However, he really sticks to his opinions and facts - which are more often than not false, based on faulty logic or easily disproven - and that's when he gets himself into hot water.
I'd like to see him back someday - when he's not arguing, he adds a good deal to the board.
At times I thought he was intentionally baiting the other posters, even occasionally wondered if he were a reincarnation of Alien!
He is at his best when offering handyman type advice, at his worst when he thinks he has the upper hand in a debate, but starts to use his "childhood experiences" and personal anecdotes which don't seem based in reality.
A number of times I typed out a reply to one of his posts, only to shake my head and delete, knowing I couldn't convince him to see what everyone else could.
Yes, he can add a little colour to the party, but now that he has the mod's attention again, if he does return he will have to tone it down a little.
I believe he was advising Cycle guy on how to circumvent the cookies issue to read TERB even while banned, so I imagine he is still keeping current while at banned camp. In that case, I hope is is able to use the constructive criticism to his advantage if he ever leaves camp.
