I don't think it happened lightly.  And he has shown a continual
predilection to behave the same way.  Remember that because he's
moderated, we're only seeing the posts that are let through.

The ball's in his court, if he doesn't want to be moderated, all he has
to do is moderate his own behaviour.  There's little evidence of that,
all points to the contrary.  And, quite frankly, I'm so sick of how he
behaves that I have no sympathy for him.

Over the years, there's been a few characters who think that because
they're knowledge is so valuable that they can do whatever they damn
well please.  Despite what they think about themselves, and one or two
others who don't really care, we *are* better off without them.  There
*are* other people who know the same stuff, and can help without being a
sociopath.  Basically, those people will do whatever they feel they want
to, unless someone actually stops them in the middle of doing it.  They
don't see anything wrong with behaving that way.
