Default Burt is gone (?)

So, I held a vote with four of the other moderators on this board, asking if BurtReynoldsMoustache should be banned permanently. Including me, that made five participants. I am divided, but three mods wanted Burt gone forever (without hesitation), one didn't respond. It looks like that would be a majority in favor of a ban.

I am about to change Burt's banned status to permanent. But I thought I would go ahead and ask anyway - is there anyone on here who is willing to give Burt another chance? Let him off with a longer temporary ban (at least a month, maybe two) and then let him come back on?

Of course, I think I already know what most of you are going to say. But I admit that I have stood by for too long and tolerated his behavior, more than I would have tolerated it from other members. Since you're the ones whom he taunted and annoyed, and since I let it go on for as long as it did, I figure that I should give y'all some input in this decision.

Even though I did not agree with most of what Burt said, I believe he should be given one more chance after having at least a month to think about what he needs to change about his behavior.

If you decide to give him another chance, make it clear that it will be his last chance

Let's just ban him. I hated his guts since Day 1. I've been telling you that he's a Troll.

Burts a troll. Straight up. We just have to be on the lookout incase he re registers under a different name. a ban is a good idea.

I'm with S&W on this. Increase his temp ban to a month, and if after that he doesn't learn anything after that, perma-ban him.

im not for increasing the temp-ban
there's a reason everyone on here dislikes him.
that's the reason he should be perma-banned

Wait, so we had a vote meeting to ban someone and I wasn't told?...maybe I didn't check my messages.

He's allowed his own opinions, just as we're allowed to ignore his opinions. A guy making dumb comments doesn't hijack a thread, the people who feel they have to respond to it do. Let's face it, 90% of the people here pretty much agree on most things. A contrarian livens things up, as long as he isn't an ass about it.

For what it's worth, I'd go with another temp ban. How many temp-bans is that? There should be a set number of strikes before a permanent ban.

Keep the ban for a couple of months and warn him one more time.

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.
