Thanks for reading. When I last spoke with him (a while ago) he kept insisting that he'd taken full responsibility for himself but moments later said it was only 80% his fault. Not exactly congruent.

As I understand it, he's lost a lot of followers and cache since this all went down, although there are still some die-hard fans. Even guys like Valleyflyin (who used to be a good friend) no longer have anything to do with him. Sorry to hear you were banned, but I don't think you need to waste your energy on him any longer. Most people think he's an ass, and you won't change the minds of those who still like him. Hang in there!
