Spammin' the boards!

saint:
For those who don't know what the story is here:

Driver-Man/insert-alias-here has a desire to see controls for 720 (and presumably other games) implemented in MAME optimally. He disagrees with the methodology used in MAME currently, and does not agree with the advice/analysis of how to properly implement the controls in MAME as presented by those who actually code for MAME. He believes they are wrong, they have explained to him that he is wrong. There are more details but that is the gist.

The problem is his manner of presenting himself. Condescending, insulting, borderline language, etc. I reminded him multiple times to follow the rules of decorum in the forum, gave him a final 3-day warning ban, then a permanent ban after that when things did not improve.

Since then he has been increasingly spamming the forum, initially in PM's, then spamming posts all over the various boards.

 :dunno I don't understand getting so worked up over a small thing like this on the Internet. There are other places he could have this discussion on the Internet where he would not be subject to the rules and moderation on this forum and MAMEWorld, such as alt.games.mame.

Grasshopper:
Couldn't the guy just be given a thread in the p&r section where he can let off steam? Some of the points he makes are valid, and he does seem to know his way round MAME's source code. It seems a shame to ban him altogether.

Smeghead:
Give me his IP address and email if you have a real one, i'll have his name home address and phone number within the hour

yotsuya:
He's not being banned for what he know, he's being banned for how he's behaving. Honestly, Saint has given him much more leeway in the past to present his case than many of us probably think he deserved. Kudos to Saint for that, but in this case, the punishment certainly fits the crime.

But what about my emotional trauma? In trying to read his thread, I think I permanently lost some IQ points. His multiple posts wasted my time. I want restitution! I sent him a message that he needs to call my lawyer.
