Flanz, I agree he should have banned the first time based on those prior actions.
And what about this time?
If you say no, I'm telling you without a shred of doubt you fell for a con-man. Go buy some hand wraps and an eightball and ascend to your rightful place on the Crazy Throne and learn to track IP's.
If you say yes, you may have some worthwhile qualities and we just have to spray you with a fire hose to wash the Sproat off of you.
Personally, and this is just me speaking here, I think it's just dandy that some dude has taken it upon himself to white knight for the dr(u)g-addled psycho stalker in his thirties who has proven multiple times that he can't handle rejection from an internet community without flying off the handle. More power to ya!
Ever stop for even a minute and think maybe you're the one who has the facts wrong?
Of course. And then I spoke with multiple people who aren't either you or Sproat.
Have they been drinking the Sproat kool aid? It's pretty masterful how he's hand picked people he thinks will be empathetic to his cause to spin quite the tale to. Mostly new folks who are ignorant to his past or very kind hearted people who like to see the best in everyone - which I learned a long time ago, sometimes just doesn't exist.

The problem is, most of us don't know what he did this time. We know what he did last time, because it has been discussed at length here in this thread. We know that he came back and apologized, said he was going to work on those faults that got him banned, and presented himself as an ok guy on the board and in chat. But since apparently whatever he did this time was only "seen" by few, and it is apparently not "allowed" to be discussed, how is anyone supposed to know what to think? Why is it allowed to discuss the previous transgression and not the current one? What am I missing?

Because it involves another poster who we are trying to keep from airing their dirty laundry, linana. I think you'd appreciate the same courtesy.
And most importantly it is not just this one event, it has been an ongoing event and there have been numerous complaints.
When someone comes back from a ban, especially from something so serious, they are on thin ice. Clearly you think they'd mind their Ps and Qs.

*Redacted. Sorry Phil, this shouldn't be discussed here.*

No offense Linana, but I am going to go back to some of the "old days" responses of: "With all due respect, we don't have to explain our actions to the masses", In this particular case, all that is going to be said by the mods has already been said.
This is a very serious situation that we really dont feel comfortable trying to police, but with our limited power (banning from our website, BTW: The 8 of us own inforoo now) this all we can do.
I think we reserve the right to ban ANYONE from this message board without reason. Sproat is not a good fit for our community. Now think of all the misfits that we have in our community. He still doesn't fit. There's simply no room around here for the kind of mindset that he has.
Thanks for explaining a bit more. I've clearly missed some things, but was truly concerned because I guess I'm one of those people ignorant to his past, who had begun to befriend him.
I assumed the mods would never ban without good reason, but surely you can understand how confusing this has been given my limited exposure to him.

Ditto this. Without knowing anything about all this I revealed info about myself and he apparently visits the town I live in for work on a regular basis. So imalittleconfused/anxious.

No offense taken. I totally get that, and agree. I appreciate all that you guys do behind the scenes to make this a safe, happy community.
BUT, that is also why I didn't feel that it was right for the thread to continue with the bashing - if it doesn't need to be discussed, then the discussion should stop. IMHO.
