He hasn't done anything to piss off any of the membership.
To be strictly accurate, he was very much himself, posting with an online persona that holds nothing back, and some did, in fact, put him on Ignore for it. I'm not saying that's cause for suspension, though.

They come here to feed their own hate for us. The come, the read, they walk away feeling superior and self-righteous.
No, that's not always true. I come to TK because there's free speech, and I appreciate seeing that in action. (I rarely post here because I feel like an outsider anywhere, including EI -- and TK crashes my browser constantly!) I want to see the "other side" to the "sanitized" version elsewhere.

I was gone for two years. In that time I forgot my EI password to my Heroicfool account at EI [...]. I mentioned as much in a thread here at TK to LoP and Raeven
I remember reading your saying that, indeed, so where was that post...

If something goes missing, or information needs to be located, and I'm sufficiently motivated, I can be like a dog worrying a bone.
Good job, Enkephalen! I was going to go hunting for that post if no one else had found it.

Gode's cooked up this "well, how do we know its really HF over there - it could be two different posters" excuse.
To which I must ask, who else could this stubborn arse be but HF? LOL Yes, it's been two years, but his posting "voice" hasn't changed; therefore, it's very likely HF. I don't doubt it, and mostly knew him by watching him in action.

And the fact that we have security measures worthy of a finanical site or military site makes us both laugh. WTF? We're a sci fi message board. There is no sensitive state secrets or financial info that needs to be jealously guarded.
True, and yet, consider the Outpost Gallifrey forum -- perhaps because a lot of people in "Doctor Who" fandom have had to deal with raving loonies over the years, they fiercely protect their privacy by making their forum impossible to read unless you become a member, and impossible to search via Google. I asked EI at some point if that's what they wanted there, but stated that I thought it was a bit extreme. They haven't switched over to that *yet*...

Ah, hell, why am I so perversely pleased with that term? *snort*

I just can't stand illiterate American's.
Assuming you're the "I'm so persecuted by you evil Americans!" Russian boy who gets angry if anyone mentions his own problems with English -- it's "Americans" in that context, not "American's". If you don't know how to use the apostrophe mark, don't use it at all, and in that way, you'll have the chance to be correct about half the time.
Bored now. Good day to you.

When it comes to internet anonimity i'm a very cynical person, and very familiar with the ability to spoof both a username and a posting style.
Yes, but HF has a particular voice that seems to be very much his, and who else would have burst back in to EI making all those old Tyr/Trance injokes in exactly that style?
