Might I ask what everyone's problem with him is? I don't have a problem with the guy nor have I seen him behaving in an unacceptable way.

Trolled the hell out of us, that's what he's done:

Burt wasn't giving dissenting opinions, he was trying to say crap to rile people up and cause controversy. Everyone is entitled to opinions, yes, but burt was just trying to get attention by pissing people off. Theres a difference.

Again, it's on us to get riled up, or not to.

While it may seem like it to us, from what I can tell, he wasn't a crackpot. There are MANY people out there who don't think Israel should exist and/or drugs should be legalized.

Look at his list of contributions to the main site. It's pretty clear to me that he was trying to contribute in good faith. What's more believable, that he's just a guy with different viewpoints who tends to bring them up at the wrong time, or he's a troll who's made otherwise meaningful contributions just to keep up his trolling?

This. I've known a handful of guys with a mind similar to Burt, and none of them were bad guys, just a bit different in thinking without a full understanding of how to talk/behave around other people. Hell we're all guilty of that from time to time.

The main problem was, just about anytime there was trouble on the forums, Burt was usually the cause.

The forum will be better without him. He was asked to cool it on many occasions and had caused a lot of locked threads. And locked threads are rare here.

there was never a problem before burt.
plus the fact that we made a thread about banning him has never been done.
i'd say that's a problem
