I disagree to ban Snowshow because of his drama creating non sense thread about Bitcoin, but I agree to ban Snowshow because of evading ban.

Dang, I was going to write the exact same thing myself--I don't have any problem with someone blasting bitcoin, even if it's with lies, because I believe everyone should be free to express their thoughts no matter how twisted they are. Lies and misinformation can be countered with truth, and if that doesn't work there's always the ignore button.

But if someone's already been banned and is using alt accounts so that they can continue posting, that's another story. I agree that those other accounts have a very similar style of writing, but I'm not sure that's going to be proof enough for the mods.

I have been online since 300 baud modems of the 1980s with dial up BBS. Rambling crap like he posts was not tolerated then. Moving into the CompuServe era and everything else discussion was always permitted, but deliberalte trolling like his and your account got banned.

Wow, I thought I was an old-timer. I remember the internet of the early 90s (sort of), but I never participated in BBS or anything like that. But either way, bitcointalk is quite a bit different than most forums around in terms of censorship, and I wouldn't want to see it as strict as it was way back then.
