I am sceptical about Ron banning him. What he said he wouldn't do is give him special protection and favouritism over and above what anyone else gets here. You spend a lot of time barracking and heckling, challenge people to trace you, you don't get to make it all go away when they finally call your bluff. Ron deleted the posts that contained the trailer park address. SF wanted the whole thread deleted and stopped posting out of his own volition. He was using PMs for some time after..
Ron loves bodybuilding and genuinely likes a lot of people in it. That hasn't stopped him allowing us to say some pretty awful things about it and them for many years. Hell, he even hosts a lot of anti-Semitic , Holocaust-denying rightist propaganda. No other forum would let most of us stay even a few days before the bannings started.
I have disagreed with Ron on many things but he is isn't the villain of the piece.
