Like the majority of long-time active members of this forum, I welcome Sexy's (aka "I am better than you", "Formal Dining Room Set", etc.) participation. He adds a dimension of wit and charm to discussions that have grown very, very tiresome for most of us old-timers. And when he's not in clown mode, he often has valuable insights to share.
But David has a job to do, and it's a lonely and thankless one. We can't blame him for banning a new user that uses a proxy connection and rushes out of the gate with insults. We should also think of new members who don't know Sexy's history here and could be put off by behavior that might not come across as comical to them. While we're laughing ourselves silly over his antics, new members with something to contribute could wind up going elsewhere, rather than take a chance on being insulted by someone who they perceive as a real jerk. Ditto for lurkers who might have joined the forum but for Sexy's missteps.
I too want Sexy back. But I wish he'd knock off the crude insults, or be more subtle and creative in his use of them, so as not to scare off new and potential members. I'd also like to see him confine his special brand of humor to inconsequential threads, or threads that have grown so long that it's pointless to try to add anything new to them. (In the past he seemed to abide by this rule, so I don't think it needs to be emphasized.)
