Re: Creedo visits T-12\'s house:
That's incorrect about the time limit posts. That happened about 2 years ago when someone kept changing their posts. Rmt didn't ban him because he wasn't a mod at the time, but it's public knowledge that rmt really didn't like creedo. Sure he was a nut, but aren't we all to some extent.
Ruthless,
The original time limit was put on in 2006 when Dan was bounced. The limit was set to 48 hours at that time. You are correct about the current short fuse. The current very short time limit was put on in 2009 because yet another troll thought it was cute to open a thread, make the original post, let people answer them and then delete the OP.
As I said, Ray didn't ban Dan because he didn't have access to the Control Panel in 2006. In fact, he became a Mod shortly after Dan was banned because Roel was no longer posting. The trolls were back and Raul wanted an active Mod on the forum so he added Ray as a Mod.
The fact that Ray did or didn't "like" Dan is irrelevent to Einstein's assertion or your opinion. Ray didn't ban him - that's the only issue that is relevent.
Yes, everyone is a "nut" to some extent. That's normal behavior. That does not describe Dan's behavior. Some people found it funny - only because it wasn't about their wife, daughter, girl friend, etc. They weren't receiving PM's and emails - constantly - that included personal identifying information about themselves and the female members of their families. Gary would not have found it funny. Pamela didn't find it funny. His behavior was beyond creepy and dangerous (if not just for himself).
I certainly didn't find it funny when he started emailing me with his sexual fantasies about my wife - by name, occupation, workplace, etc. Dan and I had a chat - on the phone - about his emails and my wife. Let's just leave it at I made it abundantly clear to him what the ramifications would be, in detail, should he continue this line of behavior. Even nutters can occassionally see the light of day and determine that the risk-reward scale has tipped out of their favor. It stopped.
