There have been a lot of lunatics banned over the years.
Prison was a funny one, there was always a fine line to tread between taking the piss out of someone who completely deserved it while at the same time trying not to come across as a bit of a dick with a superior attitude. For the most part I tried to stay respectful towards people and where possible lift bans as soon as I could, because in reality none of the admins really liked banning people. But then you had some who really were asking for the full treatment. That Zapt guy was definitely one, but my favourite was this woman who was shilling her husband's business. I can't remember who started dealing with her, myself or Gordon, but she wasn't happy with us and demanded another admin. Now I must state that this woman was 100% guilty, from multiple sources of evidence there was absolutely no doubt that she was the wife of the business owner. So anyway, whichever of us it was took over and played good cop with her, but she was sticking to her guns. Eventually Gordon just got fed up with her and said that he knew she was X, and that she was married to Y who owned whatever the business was, and that he would send her the picture of their wedding day from their local paper if she really wanted it. We never heard from her again after that.
