Burt is gone (?)

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

Did he say things just to cause controversy? For example, I've been looking over the Israel thing, and he only did so in response to another poster's criticism of Israel. He didn't come out of nowhere to say something controversial, they were all within context.

Hmmm, so far the response has been quite mixed. I'm surprised.

He may not have started the Israel debate, but he obviously said something he knew was going to be divisive and start a fight. And to pretend that he didn't anticipate that reaction is ridiculous. As Brian has pointed out, it isn't a coincidence that this stuff tends to happen whenever Burt's around.

You're only bringing up the most recent issue with him, look back at some of the older locked threads and see who was the culprit.

I'm surprised also, while not all say permanent ban, they do say ban.

I was only aware of the Israel issue and the drug legalization issue. I don't frequent the Random thread, so I don't know what goes on there.

Again, the idea that someone would try to make meaningful edits and then purposely troll the forums is a bit farfetched. He's at least guilty of having poor social skills.

Actually he didn't make any edits on the wiki until he was banned on the forums the first time. Which I ended up banning him from there, for being a smart ass. (MT2008 banned him on the forums)
