There you go, and there you have it. On top of that, he's been talking about leaving RHP for 2 years, encouraging users not to join, and encouraging others not to resubscribe. Russ got tired of it when Arrakis couldn't handle a [b]one day ban after a warning not to post bigoted terms in the forums.

Arrakis posted it again and that's when he got the one day ban.

He sent Russ some love notes, and Russ removed him from the service.

see, that wasn't so hard, was it? what would be wrong with posting a brief explanation like that when banning someone from the site? if nothing else, it might lessen people's inclination to start 'What happened to...? threads.

interestingly (slightly), another debate going on in that thread was a version of the 'bad business' debate in this one - except that instead of the restaurant analogy, they were using hotel analogy. i still think my club analogy is better - to clarify, i mean something like an old-fashioned gentlemen's club, rather than a nightclub.

Arrakis was (and is) a tool.

He was banned for making insane threats against the Site Admins because he got a ONE DAY forum ban. He got off lucky; on the Good Ship Marauder, he would have been hung from the highest yardarm!
Sorry to reach so far back in this thread, but I wanted to clarify something based on emails I've exchanged with Arrakis recently regarding the events surrounding his site ban.

Arrakis maintains that he made no "insane threats" leading up to being banned from the site. He felt he was being unfairly treated by the forum mods and decided to register a formal complaint with Russ via mail rather than here on the site. To that end he requested a mailing address to which he could send said complaint. Immediately following this request, in which he maintains no legal threats were made, Arrakis was banned from the site.

Since he has no way to directly respond to accusations and speculations made here on RHP, I just wanted to relate his side of the story, especially regarding the "insane threats" he's alleged to have made.
