if he comes back and there wasn't a lifetime ban in the status upgrade list of options.....the title would fit.
was he banned before the two recent times? lol
Not sure how many. The last was like a mini-ban, only a week. The one before could have been a year. Which reminds me of a story........if you don't mind me going a little off topic?
Ok, so I grew up in a small logging community in northern California. So small we had a 2 room school. 1st thru 4th grades in one room and 5th thru 8th in the other. Anyhow, we lived in housing at the sawmill where my father worked. Right outside our front door was the log deck and mill pond. There were 5 little houses and my fathers foreman's family lived in the one next to us. He had a son that was 2 years older and a head taller than me. He was a bully. The first time he hit me I was stepping in to keep him from hitting my 4 year old sister. He was 8, I was 6. Got me right in the mouth. My father just said, "Son I am going to teach you how to fight. Don't lead with your face."
So now where was I going? Oh yea learning my lesson. So anyway there was a reservoir on a higher elevation just behind our houses. It stored water for the mill pond. Had lots of frogs and blue gills. The mill housing had 5 boys and I was the youngest. We hunted frogs with BB guns constantly.
When I turned 8 I got my first Daisy. I was thrilled. I got out of school earlier than the rest of the boys, so I went to the pond by myself. For some reason 'The Bully' was out of school early that day. I was walking around the pond and had just shot at a frog, when he jumped from behind a tree and grabbed my gun from behind. I was face down on top of the gun with both hands holding it in a present arms death grip. He was straddling me and had both hands just outside of mine. He was saying in my ear, "I am going to throw your gun in the pond." To which I replied, "You might do that but I am going in with it. And I am coming up shooting. So you might as well give up and run now."
He held me down for about 15 minutes before he gave up and took off running. I was so small I had to put the butt on the ground and hold it with my foot to cock it. Which I did and immediately shot and missed. I chased after him stopped, cocked, shot and missed. With the third shot I got him right on last vertebra at the base of his neck, just as he was making the turn around his house to go inside. I never heard anyone scream so loud.
I lost my BB gun for one solid year. However any time during that year, I went to the pond with the older boys, one of them gave my their gun.
When my year was up my Father asked if I had learned my lesson. To which I answered, "yes'. Then he surprised me with a second question, "Would you do it again?"......................................I had never lied to my father, until I said, "No, I wouldn't do it again." I knew and The Bully knew and I suspect that my Father knew as well. If he did it again I would shoot again.
