Harpgirl,
If Gargoyle was a trusted person here at the Mudcat, then they would no longer be trustworthy in my opinion and the fate would still be deserved.
Gargoyle, him or herself, was not a totally bad contributor to the Mudcat. There were many times when Gargoyle added information or opinions that added to the Mudcat. However, his or her unwillingness to alter behavior and the rather bizarre self-interpretation of his or her motives given in the posts on this thread indicate that Gargoyle's intent is more to destroy that with which she or he disagrees, rather than to just state his or her disagreement.
Do you know something we don't know? Weren't you the one who asked Gargoyle all those pointed questions about college in Orono? My memory sometimes falls short and I haven't time now at work to search.
