Butting in? Not quite.
I too, gave him the benefit of doubt more than once. In fact, by his own
admission above, I "let" a troll go on and harass me for a long time, which
is some indication of patience.
I became irritated when he returned to the same old managerial meddling,
after being nicely asked to stop (he didn't), firmly asked to stop (he didn't),
forcefully asked to stop (he didn't), told to stop (he didn't), warned to stop
(he didn't), threatened to stop or else (he didn't), and finally booted, because
that was the only way left to stop him.
What did him in for me, was the parallel, half hearted, half felt, reluctant,
forced approach to apology, written simulataneously with posts on XP
for Curtis, reinforcing the lies all over again, omitting important details,
to make everyone except him look like uncaring, unforgiving, irrational,
whimsical people who wronged him for no good reason. Of course,
there were individuals at XP who delighted in seeing you and I pulled
into the Inferno.
When he moves, it would be fitting for him to abandon the name Mars,
god of war, and adopt the name Loki, who is a more fitting god for the
domain in which he functions.
