TLDR: Nobody should be dependent on the work of anybody in the Bitcoin community.

If just just for his incessant, relentless and baseless attacks of the dev team and the sensational thread titles he should be banned. His conversations add no value and if he id making valid points know one would know because no one reads his posts.
Atlas is in no adding in any valuable way to the conversations taking place on bitcointalk.
Atlas says a lot of stupid things, but I think that he
tries to argue reasonably. He's not trying to be disruptive, and I think that he's recently not been too disruptive. His posts are often annoying, but they sometimes have decent points that are fun to talk about; in fact, several of my recent posts are responses to Atlas.
