I think I understand what Dr. Bob is saying. There were a lot of posts from before by verne and you could just see where it was going. If somebody had stepped in and just tried to detour him from getting to this point and maybe offered to help him with whatever was troubling him, maybe it would have helped. It was a pretty troubling personal attack but I don't believe that verne really meant what he said. If he had apologized to Deneb and everybody maybe he wouldn't have had to be blocked.
However, that said, a year's ban is draconian and ridiculous. People lean on PB a lot and share a lot of stuff they can't anywhere else.
It should be a month at most.I think that verne was just needing some help. It sucks that now he doesn't have PB to help him.
