Using information that he had previously posted in his posts, posts that explained the obscure letters he had after his name, I mentioned that maybe that institute would like to know the type of person who it was associated with. The post that he put up containing this info was removed by him before he came back and threatened legal action saying I had divulged private information. He put it out there and then complained. Then he was cast adrift by the powers that be here.

This old man can still remember what I've read in posts and can work the search feature to find them again. His posts were racist, homophobic and just plain filthy to read.

We are better of without him, but the jokes were OK, some duds as far as I was concerned but generally a laugh.

Your personal info is not secret when it hits the Internet.
Thanks Dave, for the explanation.

Sadly too often a thread is lost because someone got out of hand. That's often no big deal but this thread was kinda cool.

Besides, it had a few gems of yours. Unlike you, This old man cannot remember anything so I will simply have to miss them.
On the brightside, if anyone posts an old joke it will not be a repeat. At least for a while.
