I enjoyed his rote Socratic approach to every argument. He was fun to play with. He wasn't ever basely insulting or inappropriate though, which is why I'm curious what got him banned.

I think that when you're young everything is black and white. There's no annoying grey area where things aren't just right or wrong and in a black and white world everything that's wrong needs to be fought against with equal intensity.
Things look increasingly grey as you age (and I'm quite sure it's not just failing eye-sight ^_^).

He was the one that took the Socratic approach? I don't recall that being the reality. :P
Besides, there are more ways to be insulting than basely.
Point. At least, that's what he would say he was doing, I think.
As for shades of gray, Billy Joel said it pretty well.

I can only speak on the part of the UK (and not particularly knowledgeably at that) but there's been some recent controversy over super-injunctions here.
Super-injunctions are court orders which can be acquired with enough money/legal muscle that prevent the press from printing a story
or even acknowledging the existence of such a story or the super-injunction itself
.
They seem to most commonly help footballers hide the shame of their affairs.

HSR had problems with me and actively trolled me because I disagreed with him and eventually locked a thread where he kept disagreeing to any compromises. That was fine, I don't have a problem with that, but shortly after he edited his signature to insult me. When it crosses the line to not listening to administrative warnings issued multiple times, it will get you banned. Disagreeing and arguing is one thing; calling someone names is another. It probably didn't help that after the ban, he went hostile and started to actively flame me and made another account to circumvent ToS.
I actually do not miss him, because someone who argues with everyone eventually promotes a hostile environment. You have to learn to drop things at some point and agree to disagree.

I call it the "Aestu-effect" -- which also has the potential to be a pretty &*!@#in' band name.

Aestu
, although he appears to have been unbanned.
No. Sometimes the ban tag doesn't show up. Also notice how he has no consecutive visits.
However, you
can read his blog
. If you want feel your mind getting stupider with every word.
HsR stopped posting on his blog though )=

I'd be laughing my ass off if HSR doesn't know he's still being charged.
It's not like it's all that much to begin with...

That's true, I made it sound quite flippant when they're definitely quite serious.
But, you raise with MPs sticking their necks out and I see you with
"hyper-Injunctions"
- even MPs and lawyers can't be told about them.
(edit: and now I see a story today of one of these silly footballers taking legal action against twitter for the identity of the user breaking the injunction! /rolleyes)
...ok, just realised how far off topic both the most common discussions in this thread are >.<

I liked him, but he was pretty zealous.
Like, really really zealous.
