Nah, no censor****p issues, if you own a system, and one of your users is
causing trouble, you are well within your rights to terminate them. It
has nothing to do with censor****p, it has more to do with economics. But
I agree that unless he is deliberately trying to avoid killfiles, just
leave him alone, and above all, don't reply to his posts EVER. It just
encourages the attention seeking behavior.
