He was on my Ignore List for a while. I actually took him back off for a few days at one point... people were quoting his posts in their replies, and it seemed to me that his tone had improved. That proved to be temporary, and I added him back to my Ignore List and moved on. There was once a time when I couldn't resist getting into 18-page flame-fests with guys like him, but then I grew up.
I'm actually sad to see him go. When he wasn't intentionally trying to pick fights with people, he was actually capable of some good, worthwhile points. He could've been a wonderful addition to this board, and that's probably why Svoboda tried to keep him on for so long. But clearly, he was on a mission to make everyone here see how smart he was, not to have fun talking about Notre Dame football.
