If he wanted to come back he could do it easily even if banned. I know this because he was banned under “madscientist” & came back as YR. Nothing is stopping him from posting here.
I personally would love to have him back. Was he emotional? Yup. Was he outspoken? Yup. Did he know what he was talking about? Yup. If he doesn't rejoin, I'll stop by his shop on my next run to Spokane.
