Main Points Raised

- There is a suggestion that first bans are usually temporary, leading to speculation about the user's potential return.
- Others express doubt about the temporary nature of the ban, indicating it may be permanent this time.

First bans are usually temporary i think, so he may be back.

I was dissapointed in his rabbit incarnation. His previous life as a bird was more interesting.

Hi Evo,
Ahem... *entirely* urelated, I was wondering if there were any LD posts that you personally found interesting?
Not that I am trying to track down why he was banned, mind you. (I realize it must sound like that.) I just am curious which of his threads you thought were intriguing (wink wink.)

Guys, not only is it in poor taste to discuss someone when he can't defend himself, the moderators aren't going to do it.
RP got a permanent ban, that means any other screennames he creates will get a permanent ban as well. The same rules apply for everyone else who gets perma-banned.
