See the thread in The Temple for details.

Poll will last for 3 days.

I will vote myself when I make up my mind.

This member committed identity fraud, knowingly went against the express will of the community while doing so, ignored the requests of several members to change his actions (things such as typing in all caps, which is frowned on all over the net, as an experienced user like him must know), deliberately wound us up, fraternised with known, self-identified trolls, continues to do so, and has generally acted in a most untrustworthy fashion, contrary to many aspects of our community's protocol. This was not down to ignorance; he read the FAQ, and understands netiquette anyway.

This member will not be welcome here in the future, and has already demonstrated his ill will towards our community and its desires.

He's a cock.

edit: I take it we're not waiting till the polls close to announce our vote then?

I voted.

I agree, a very good summary Buzzfloyd.

I voted too.

I'd just as soon you didn't, but nice touch of voting to ban yourself.

Isn't announcing your vote optional at this stage? i.e. before the end of the vote. Seems we need to make that clearer.

Well I choose to say I voted now, doesn't take a genius to figure out which way.

hehe, I thought you might like that but I couldn't delete my acount, so I've voted for myself instead.

Ok... last words... [i:787e66d1bf]clears throat[/i:787e66d1bf]
here we go...

When I said there are [i:787e66d1bf]some[/i:787e66d1bf] people here who are too arrogant for my liking, I meant it, and they are also guilty of twisting people's words and actions when they feel like it. I'd be amazed if the people I'm talking about don't know who they are but I hope they do not deny it and say I am making it up.

Also, I suppose everything Buzzfloyd said above can basically be seen as true, except for one small point. I'll let you work out which one it is if you're interested. Anyway, I thought I should get that off my chest, as it was bugging me slightly that I should say something. I'm sorry some view me as an enemy and sorry for my past silliness.

And I certainly don't dislike everyone in this community, just rather unhappy with the odd few people.

Anyway farewell to you all. Feel free to delete my account whenever you wish as this [b:787e66d1bf]is[/b:787e66d1bf] my last post. Bye bye. All the best.

Thank you for that trite, manipulative rubbish.

I was thinking that I've never seen someone get something off their chest without actually saying anything, nothing tangible anyway.

I guess we don't need anymore votes on this then?

P.S. Wish we could list 'being trite' with excuses as one of our things not to do in our posting rules.
