Basically, he and some others started an off-topic political discussion here in this thread. I made a polite request to cease and take it to the appropriate forum (you can go back and look at those posts if you wish).
The others stopped, Greg decided to take one more jab anyway. I sent him a PM requesting that he self edit the post. He refused stating that something said by LL 'demanded' a response. When he refused to edit the post, I edited it and gave him a warning.
His response to the warning was to put the edited post in his signature. I gave him a second warning and 12 hours to self edit. He refused and sent me pleasant notes about getting my jollies from being a moderator among other things. The deadline came and went, he got a third warning and a short time line to finally comply. he didn't and he was banned.
If he returns he can give his own account and surely will. From my perspective, this recent incident was far from the worst thing that he has done around here but is indicative of the way Greg has never cared enough about the people in these forums to remain civil for any length of time. In the end, his anger and stubbornness are all that show through which is too bad because he is a smart and talented guy.

Thanks for making the tough call Chris. This is the no fun part of being a moderator I'm sure, but I for one appreciate it.
