Coupla points

You were banned from Daily Gotham primarily because you insisted - the relevant thread is here - on repeatedly posting content which you were told was considered libelous. You did this a total of six times before you were banned. After the banning, you went on to attempt to re-post this libelous content (which was directed at a reader of our site) by creating a total of seven new accounts, each of which was blocked.

So yeah, in terms of making a total jackass nuisance out of yourself, Wallner, you took the prize. And before you start bitching about how what you posed wasn't libelous in your opinion, please note that I don't have to care about your opinion, only about my judgment of our liability. As the user of a privately owned site, however, you have to care about my opinion and my requests, and since you made it entirely clear that you were contemptuous of these, well, goodbye troll.

As to the impact on our site, traffic at The Daily Gotham has doubled over the last few weeks. I don't think there's a correlation or causation, but it does help if it's possible to have, say, a critical discussion of certain subjects without some feces-throwing monkey making every thread all about his own pathologies. Kinda like what happened to this one, ostensibly about John Kerry. I fail to see what this entire discussion adds to anyone's understanding of Kerry; instead, people are treated to another episode of the Wallner-O-Rama, which is kinda tedious.
