It's really ashame that out of some sort of spitefulness, addiction, or genuine cluelessness people like Arolin continue to make their presence felt even when on occasion after occasion it has been stated and restated that they are not welcome. It seems that no amount of "verbal" redressment, flaming, banning, denial, etc. gets the point across. You see Bemus-ed, when somebody continuously makes an ass of themself, here, there, or elsewhere it becomes attached indefinitely to that person. Arolin appears to have gone out of his way to alienate the imps, the forum public, and any other self-respecting individual who frequents these parts. It's really sad that things have to be that way, but they are. Whether or not your perceived injustices are indeed injustices is up for debate. The fact remains that you and yours are branded, seemingly for life, and Arolin is what those in the business like to call a PR nightmare. So, for the good of yourself, and for the good of SMUG, proclaiming from the highest mountain that Arolin is a black sheep which you would rather not be associated with in the future might be the best step to take. At the very least don't make yourself a lamprey to his great white. Detach yourself and be your own fish.
