No -- it is not undisputed that the reason he was banned was a TOS violation.
He broke it, was corrected, and made an earnest attempt to comply. After his
attempt to comply he was banned without recourse.

The following posts shed light on this:

Based on these, I don't believe that Larry's correction was earnest, but rather
calculating. My guess (yes, it's a guess)is that it was the phrase "Until
perpetual stock is implemented," that was the point of contention. Larry wanted
a certain service added to BL, Dan either couldn't or wouldn't add it, so Larry
engaged in calculated civil disobedience. Dan called him on it and Larry made a
show of 'complying' while still maintaining his disobedience, so he's out.

Only Dan can prove that wrong. -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
