Is there no way to ban by IP or IP range with APS's forum software?

Quote from: Preacherman
280, I've been very occupied fighting bureaucratic battles with Workers Comp over my 2004 injury.  I won't say I'm winning (not fighting four separate Federal departments!), but I'm holding my own, and the air is clearing somewhat.  Hopefully, within the next four to six months, I'll have things sorted out.

I've also just finished my second manuscript, and the first is now at a publisher being checked out.  Don't know if they'll like it - it's hellish hard to break into the market, with so many wannabe's out there - but I'm hopeful.  Writing, checking and editing is time-consuming, I'm afraid.
What type of material? If you're interested in a second pair of eyes to read copy before sending it in, I've some professional editing experience. Send me an email with something like "from preacherman at APS" in the header so I don't lose it to the spamfilter.

I knew he would return, but this was sooner than I expected. Darn, now I'm not going to get any work done this afternoon.

How long do you think it'll be until he re-registers again?

Idiots like that are unpredictable.  As long as he wants to waste his time, he'll probably try again - but then, we can kill his posts just as easily.  Silly, really, to be so dumb . . . but then, some folks are like that, I'm afraid.  Waste of oxygen.

You have no reason to apologize for the actions of another.
He/she was just a small anoyance that we will all forget about shortly.

Good luck on keeping him/her at bay.

Never ask a man where he is from. If he is from Texas he will tell you. If he isn't there's no need to embarass him.

And why would he/she choose to spoof my name.  I don't recall attacking him/her.  I think I only replied to one of his/her threads.  Maybe two.

Ah, thank-you.

Nice to see that justice is sometimes swift.

I HATE to feed the trolls, and usually don't.

I actually feel bad for the guy.

Imagine how he feels?

Think about it.  There is a rather large group of educated, responsible, MATURE (some of us, at least) people that don't want him around.  We flat out do not want him here.  We have told him so.  Forget the mods and the banning.  Us, the members, don't want him here.

He is so alone, and has so little else to do, that he does nothing but try to come back, so we can all reject him again.

This, my friends, is the true sign of someone in dire need of friends.

Wow.

Poor guy.

What a looser he must be.

I feel so bad for him.

All of that is true, except that he doesn't see us as intellient or mature, or at least he doesn't seem to admit that to himself.  He maintains that we are stupid, servile, mean, etc.  

He tells himself that it is heroic to bear our scorn.

Some people get a kick out of being rectal sphincters. Add persistence, a warped self-aggrandizing idea of heroism, and an unwillingness to think, and you don't need any logical reason to come back again and again.

It's working preacherman. Notice his posts are getting shorter? He knows he's going to lose them, so he doesn't want to put too much effort into it.

Twycross, don't you see his bravery in standing up to all of us?  I wish I had the guts.
