I did not post this in the thread already present about moon because I was denied access to it.

I have only read, after searching the forums for about an hour, that moon was banned for "name-calling". Yet, having re-visited his last post, it is very placid--leading me to believe a specific request is made for his ousting. Could someone please provide links to specific background--recent, please? I'm wondering if something flagrant happened. I do not agree with Moon's views, but I found him to be an interesting--if circular--person to debate with.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Well, he was going around calling everyone a liar. I don't know if that was all of it or not.

Calling people liars is against the rules. We asked moon to stop several times. He denied calling people liars. He was banned.

Well, that was incredibly unsatisfying. While I know that is true, it also seems incredibly minor, especially considering moon's ideological predisposition to calling people liars.

It would have been minor by itself. But Moon had been banned once for rules violations. He was allowed back in on the promise of improved behavior, and he very quickly dropped into his old habits. So he was banned again.
