Well, for me, it wasn't attacks. There have been quite a few people in 
this community who were rude, insulting, and IMO, that is not worth 
moderation. In fact some of them have even came around and become quite 
good D contributors. Those problems usually work themselves out because 
we have a great community which does not give trolls the attention they 
desire.

But when you start impersonating people, especially ones that post to 
this forum, you have crossed the line and are literally putting words 
into other's mouths. We've seen this before, and generally they go away, 
but this guy does not want to.

Now he's claiming "discrimination" ;)

I agree, this will be a blip in our forum experience, and next month 
we'll barely remember him.
