As much as he is an ass (Hi Holy! [but aren't we all at times?]) and I do enjoy smacking him around at times (^_^) this is NOT permanent ban worthy. It just isn't. In no way or form, temp ban worthy? I still think not. A few slaps and slays and asshatness back? Hmmm yes.. deserving.
Being here so long, he knows what he is doing in those small situations and is just being an ass, if it keeps up and ACTUAL PROOF keeps getting posted, then maybe then a temp ban is in play, unless it is some form of rank manip or cheating, the of course, goodbye.
