Since it's over? I'm way inclined to be generous.

When he was directly asked, and thought he'd be kicked out anyway, he categorically denied it with bluster and heated commentary.
eta: I'm shutting up. It's over. Sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not the first time. He did this last time.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Hmmmmmmm . . . . He seemed to be a fairly reasonable person in this incarnation - never ran into him earlier, of course. It showed a lot of class to just say, "Busted!" and walk away from it, tho.
Wait a minute - he's really Steve Amasfer, isn't he?

He was. In this incarnation.
When he was directly asked, and thought he'd be kicked out anyway, he categorically denied it with bluster and heated commentary.
But this is what he did the first time.
It makes me feel some rue. Like...we did the best we could and gave him chances. It's his fuck-up, but it doesn't make me feel good. Like to handle it even better next time.

I don't get the "and thought he'd be kicked out anyway" part of that.

John, after it was suggested that you e-mail him, and then you came back and asked what to do if you got no clear response, he came in to this thread with a lot of bluster -- saying he thought he was going to be kicked out because he had offended a stompy, but that he wanted to state anyway that he was not this person. I'm paraphrasing madly, but, that's the gist, I think.

Be he's gone. And he's not coming back.
(If he comes back, of course, I'll lose any tiny shred of respect I had for him, and will probably throw large paragraphs at his head. But he's not. I believe that.)
And it's possible (probable, I think, from what I know of his personality; but I don't know, of course) that he is reading this right now.
So I say, with greatest respect to you: maybe we could let go of talking about the specifics of the mieskie/Schmoker/Anathema situation. We do have some things to say about trolls, I think, most of which I'll want to talk about too, in the morning, but retreading the details of this particular over-now situation is... not going to accomplish anything. I think. I think.

Sorry, I was just trying to clarify my earlier, ill-advised post.
