He and I had an (admittedly hilarious) exchange in private messages. I gave him an ultimatum: Promise to stop talking back to admins, or he was gone. Needless to say, he didn't want to listen.
I haven't seen all of his stuff, and while a lot of the stuff was just him being a smartass, how would you define "talking back to admins?" I can understand something along the lines of "screw you and your rules, I'll do what I please," that's one thing, but if it's "I disagree with your statement, and here are a list of reasons why," that's another. There's a difference between having a different opinion and being a pain in the ass. As Nyles said, civility and intelligence are welcome here, and I totally agree with that, and isn't tolerance of a reasonable argument part of being civil? (This is not to say POI had reasonable arguments, this is purely hypothetical.)
