I have never known a new member of a forum (SPS is the exception), within the first few posts to use the 'C' word. Nor do I know of any forum that would tolerate such behaviour. Bearing in mind the circumstances, I think BD has been extremely accommodating as it happens - most other forums would have immediately banned him and either banned him permanently or demanded an apology before reinstatement. Just my opinion

A prole? No. A Place of Light - he's a mysterious, nefarious, iniquitous, infamous mod at the other place. He's actually a very decent guy (or girl!) as it happens

Well, one of the selling points of BD (at least as far as I've seen so far) is that it prides itself on being a friendly welcoming place.

So, in that spirit CK should be welcomed, and be treated like any other new member.

Its hardly a massive ball ache to ban him if he starts acting like an arse, and treating him as though he'll simply pick up where he left off on the SPS is more likely than anything else to engender the sort of behaviour you want him to avoid.

Treating him like an arse is more likely than anything to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO.

He was. Until he made that post. That's when things changed, what do you expect?

Yep, seems so to me.

He was - they approved his membership.

Again, they shouldn't have to indulge him. Why give him any special treatment? And as for him, paraphrasing, "acting like an arse", that [boat] has sailed - his opening posts saw to that

Also, he admitted over at the other place he was "testing the waters" (still maintaining the boat theme).

Well, I don't want to dwell on it. I think they've treated him more than fairly and I don't think he should get any special treatment. That's my opinion so no more drama

Who are you anyway?

This APoL seems to put themselves about a bit, I've been accused of being them too. I've also been accused of being Sleepy but that was by penski so I'm not putting too much on that one.
