I think it's a banning. I just noticed it today and he's been gone a long time. I can't get him to admit (to me or anybody else) that he's actually a buddy of mine.
How can you tell if somebody's been banned? Do they have a list or something?

It looks like he was being his usual smart ass self (;~D) on Terri Schiavo threads. Anyone who looked at his other recent posts would see that he appeared to only post smart ass kinds of things, and though that in itself is not usually enough to get banned, there was very little reasonableness or patience with anyone on TS threads.
