content: Quote from: Pentode on July 29, 2013, 01:43:26 amYou mean why was Keith banned here?He was trolling. "Telling the truth" is one thing, but killing the value of the site by jumping into every thread to wage your personal war was taking it's toll on everyone. He also refused to listen to any criticism or feedback in waging his holy war. And most troubling, he pretty much became that which he railed against - looking to get $$ for a nebulous ill defined end product that entailed a lot of hype and not a lot of substance. There must be some sort of personality disorder at play there, which is sad because he's probably a very nice guy in person. Just couldn't get over his Internet grudge and according to him, it cost him his entire retirement savings grinding out that grudge.

content: Would it be overly forward of me to put out the suggestion that heisKeef? I mean, his account was created right around when Keef was canned, he's got similar interests, a slightly similar (but more damped) writing style, started out by posting on a Keef thread...If not, Pentode, I offer you my sincerest apologies for the comparison.Edit: Not the first to suggest it, apparently

content: I was just investigating this very thought!Previous posts all about crown funding, same ISP and IP address range as keef. He'll be getting a temporary ban for a couple of other reasons.

content: The link at the top? Doesn't mean heisKeef.Not that I don't think he is. I strongly suspect it. I was just wondering what "other reasons" were - I figured the main reason was "he is Keef", so I thought other reasons would be something like "inflammatory posts", but I couldn't really find any.

content: Yeah, didn't even need to view Posts By This User under his profile to be confident that it was him. Of course the posts just confirm it.So that means he had at least two accounts here - because this one (pentode) was created back in May. I wonder how many more he has and how often we will be graced by his presence.
