if he had a good reputation associtated with that screen name, whether it's his real name or not, you could understand him wanting to keep the moniker. As he is allready widely known from that other place as being a scammer it's all very mistifying. Hopefully he'll soon realise that what went down on ***** wont go down the same on EADD.
Yeah, it's not like his name was in any way 'good'. :D
If I recall correctly, his schtick was hijacking threads, pretending to be the OP and then leaving his email (which again, inexplicably, was in his real name).
It was frightening to see how many actually fell for it...
Laurence was permabanned for blatant dealing. He returned with a baldrick-level cunningly disguised alt. Alts of banned users are subject to immediate bans. So it's just the normal process.
