We won’t bother you with the specifics, but suffice it to say that, for his wretched excesses, bigotry, and bile, TTAG has officially banned Jimbo from further comments within our happy little TTAG family. Typically, when we have banned commenters in the past (to be fair, that’s only two times), we’ve done a little research on our offenders, and provided TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia with some details about them. There wasn’t much to go on in Jimbo’s case. In fact, we were unable to find out much about him at all, save the fact that he hails from the Land Down Under. Without an actual photograph, we were at a loss as to how to illustrate Jimbo’s fall from grace. Then our crack team of Photoshop experts went to work, creating this composite sketch of what we suspect Jimbo might actually look like. (Note his bringing a knife to a gun fight. Or site. Classic fail.)

How to Alienate Friends and Influence Banning.
Ah, crap. Just when we thought things were settling down around here, the TTAG Fire Department gets another 911 call to go put out some flames. And potentially, evict some arsonists from our happy little group of campers. Tsk, tsk. But in order to preserve a more perfect TTAG, and to try to head off more Napalm at the pass, as it were, we thought a few words on our comments policy might be appropriate. To wit…
And Another Tr0ll Bites the Dust.
Up until today, The Truth About Guns has only had to ban one tr0ll from our site. At the time, we really thought we’d be able to get through life without banning anyone, but the doggedly-dogmatic and infinitely infantile rantings of JadeGold made that impossible. So we’re a year-and-a-half into a site that’s growing by leaps and bounds, and here we are, having to use the nuclear option again. Sigh… As of this evening MechWolf has joined TTAG’s History Team (JV Squad).
