In the discussion of such a move, I present the following multiple violations of AR3.

Ghost flushes a thread, metavac snaps at him.

And again!

Within half an hour of each other, no less. The boy doesn't get it.

I'm just going to throw out that metavac seems more naive than malicious. My guess is that he thinks arguing that the reposting of articles is illegal has nothing to do with the violation of AR3.

Regardless, he didn't do his homework with respect to the policy of posting entire articles and was in explicit violation of AR3, which is taken very seriously, so he does deserve some punishment.

Posters like him perplex me. They seem to be on a mission to get banned. "I'll just run right over those warnings and suggestions people have handed me, because it's full-speed ahead to Parting Shots!" Why? What's the point?

PS: Any sympathy I may have had for him with the naive thing was completely lost with the repeated use of "son" to Nitram. I don't care how old he is; that's intentionally disrespectful and was repeated after he was explicitly told to not do it again. He can fry, for all I care. Seems like it's what he wants anyhow.

If he really thought it was illegal, why not just tell a Senator? Your argument requires we ignore his colossal ego, which he puts on grand display regularly.

Put up the poll because honestly he has not learned and is just going to scream until we acknowledge our ineptitude to his superior mind.

Because I don't think he's even trying to get policy changed. Flaming a moderator is one of the few areas where we have a substance-over-style policy, and he seems to have focused on the substance of the claim in question ("posting articles in full is illegal") instead of the style he's arguing.

Except all he's doing is screaming how his point supercedes all others, and that his being the rule when it appears to the be the exception. Literally his bullshit of his protection was pure style over substance given who would be affected.
