Should Marty be unbanned?

No - close the door and hammer it shut. Keep Languish Marty free.
22 (28.9%)
Maybe - the current Marty break is good, let's keep it going. We can potentially examine a return at some future time.
12 (15.8%)
Yes - Marty should return to languish in the near term.
42 (55.3%)

Here's a non-binding referendum on Marty's status. Let's hear arguments for and against, and tally the mood of the forum. We'll look at the results in a week or two and determine next steps then.

Where's the "I'm completely apathetic" option?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

If Trump wins we'll have to ban him again.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I bet he'd be off Trump by that point.

Either way, he'll still do something to get himself banned again.  Same if Hillary wins, though.

Someone posted the Brexit vote had him reconsidering the alt right. For a pole, an anti eu and anti nato movement with some level of support from putin has to be disconcerting.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Is this a remake of Groundhog day?  You make a poll, let him in on condition of good behavior, two weeks later you have to ban him.  Again.  Let him stay out for a couple of years more, then we'll let him in.  If he hasn't changed by then, so be it, perma-ban.

Tough shit.  Enjoy getting rounded up for the fag lawyer camp once Cossackapallooza '23 kicks off, fuckstick.

Is freedom of movement on the table? We could keep him confined to the gaming forum.

I support Marty being a long-time poster here. I Also support occasional temp bans as necessary.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I think it's ridiculous to ban someone for insulting other posters. Going after people's family members in a hurtful way seems to me to be a reasonable line not to cross (which he AFAIK didn't cross this last time), but for posters surely we can have a heat-kitchen situation on Languish.

Mart belongs on Languish. Smack him around a bit when he gets too loco but don't disappear him long time.

Much needed is some clarification of what constitutes a bannable offense.

Although I suppose if the clarification were that anything goes, but Marty being Marty, he will be banned every once in a while on a whim, I could probably live with that.
