If you're not going to IP ban Varrus or anything and if therefore he's able to keep making socks, could you at least mute them rather than ban them? I went looking for the Bush energy policy thread only to see that it was exterminated. Either that or just unban him. He's a complete jackwad but, as far as forum jackwads go, he's more harmless than most.
Really though, I'm just annoyed by inconvenience to myself.
