Giok, I never meant to suggest that Clinton's being banned stemmed from his behaviour on only that one thread. I was only trying to synopsize the drama that went on there.

I've known Clinton Hammond for a long time. We've shared a stage and seats at a bar many times, though not for several years since he moved south. He's always been one to get in people's faces and piss people off. He's not just some internet coward. He'd say the same things to your face. We disagree very often on many subjects but he'd still be one of my preferred drinking buddies. His abrasiveness is one of his qualities that make him fun to be around. That is, if you don't take things some GD seriously.
