Certainly he was not banned, according to
Bpip.
Only permanent bans are publicly shown in
modlog, so BPIP can't show temporary bans. But I don't think that's the case, even banned users can still be online, and TMAN hasn't been online. Besides, I'd expect some unique
poetry in Meta if he was really banned.
He was helping me with a collectible on Telegram, then he just disappeared. So it's not a bitcointalk thing.
