As a result of my own actions I do not posess the ability to sucessfully log in there as a member any longer.
Once it was pointed out to me that I was not actually welcome there, and that my prescence was in fact disruptive to their harmony, I felt relieved of the obligation to visit. Haven't for quite some time now. I believe I took the correct course of action, for the sake of all parties.
Someone else will need to do it. I'm not going to say sorry, 'cos I was quite glad to shed that burden actually. And to be fair the site seems to be functioning a little better recently. I still can look at the public posts as well as any one else, just can't do searches and PM's or post in most areas.

No, he is not banned, never has been and most likely won't unless he uses an IP that shows up as a spam source and then that IP gets banned.
However Cat, he never does say he is banned but his first sentence does imply it but on a second or third reading he more than likely means he can't remember his password but whatever the reason, it is a result of his own actions....hmmmmmm..... His last sentence says he can come here and read the posts which means he is NOT banned.
I am not sure where it was pointed that he was not welcome here but I remember some posts somewhere that in a nutshell told him that if he couldn't discuss nicely and only posted inflammatory posts at kevin and others then just don't post for those manner of posts weren't welcome.
What has gotten my attention is where he says, "Someone else will need to do it.....I was quite glad to shed that burden....". That appears to be a confirmation that he was the one taking posts from here to give to Linda. Secondly, after I pointed it out two weeks ago, the proxy IP's stopped coming in even though he claimed it wasn't him. I find that either a serendipitous event or confirmation that it was him. By his own admission, he has fallen out of favor with Linda since he is now a security risk according to her. Looking at his first sentence again, he blames it on his own actions that he does not have the ability to come here....what actions?...he is not clear.
He has learned quite well from Linda after all these years to say something in a manner that implies one thing but very well might be saying something else or it can be interpreted differently.
In any event, he should be able to login, if it is password, there are ways to overcome that. Otherwise, it is nothing more than a crying child shedding tears over nothing. He is welcome to post here and always has been.
One last thing, why would he say that he, "...just can't do searches and PM's or post in most areas." Those actions ALL require one to be logged in except for the Kilroy thread which was supposed to be for posting comments about Raymond and then was extended to anyone as a remembrance to lost loved one. In other words, he can't post in any area so why the misdirection of statement?

...and yes, his account is active as well as Linda and a few others who claim they have been deleted. Linda has been coming in here on her trip to read, she could just as easily post. I find that curiously stupid in that she claims that this is a cesspool and won't come her but she just can't stop coming here or having others lift posts.....says a lot about her statements I would say....and now fruitbat is seeing it for himself, I suppose....enlightenment?
