Check the replies just before #100 on this thread. I think he WAS trying to get banned.

Laz and both got banned a few weeks ago when we got into an argument and he kept making threats and I responded. We both returned, but he’s apparently a slow learner or genuinely has some mental problems, as he’s banned again. Either way, he’s on my “do not respond” list. His act gets old pretty fast, and I’m going to try to stay above his level.
