but my impression of Pluto was initially positive too. feels weird seeing a fairly prominent Hexbear user be permanently banned, but wow he sounds like a lot for the mods to deal with and banning him seems more than justifiable to me now.

This is kind of how I feel about the situation. If someone isn't going to learn from their mistakes, they should go somewhere else where that will be tolerated rather than giving the mods a headache every time they post.
