You're right, Krackhead. You never saw what most of the club did. Going by what you saw, I can understand why you feel bad for the guy. He also managed to hide it from me for a long time.
For a while, until a short while after the code theft, I shared your attitude toward him. I felt that the other members were wrong in keeping what I thought was a grudge. However, he simply did not change, ever. Even as you, I, and others argued in his defense, he was busily stealing other people's work. After he was found out, he refused to admit that it was wrong.
Still, I did not attack him, and was still friendly (in a disapproving sort of way, of course). And yet, he proceeded to attack us repeatedly (albeit ineffectively) even as I sought to ignore his past faults and attempted to give him another chance (yes, even after stealing code).
I think that's what finally got to me; it's not that he used too many chances; but rather that he made it clear that he did not want any more chances. And he never really stopped doing the bad stuff long enough to let his chances have a chance, if you know what I mean. Instead he continually wronged many, many Rune players, and the whole time he wove his insane and confusing tangle of ridiculous lies to try to cover it up. Never once even after the final banning was he truly sorry.
I think that the point where I realized that he hadn't turned over the proverbial new leaf and when I decided that he was a write-off was when, after he was ejected from the club for stealing, he made yet another identity attempting to deceive us and then attempted to guilt us into letting him back in, insisting the whole time that what he did was not really stealing (the rationalizing prick). Uh, I think that was after the creation of about ten threads, in spite of being asked repeatedly to stop making them and to give it some time, whining about being oh so injustly kicked out of the club. And then he had the bile to accuse us again and again of being the evil ones, the wrongdoers.
In short, we've all had quite enough of him. And, if he does indeed do as he says and quit playing Rune, we can all forget him. Unfortunately, I have a large hunch that he will be back.
