Thai-Guy
This post is just for you thai-guy. Before we get to the point however, let's take a trip in the "Way-Back Machine" shall we? Alrightythen! Here we go...
Here's what thai-guy had to say way back when Robert M. first started contemplating removing conservative commenters from his blahg:

Wow. Whatever would I do without the trolls? I’d have to actually argue thoughtfully all the time…*ugh*
It would be good to get some fresh ones, though. The ones that are here have gotten really stale.
I’d vote Jeff and Richard off the island, definitely. What’s really irked me about them is that I thought your blog was special to them, but I’ve since come to learn that they troll everywhere like this, in the same way. They’re not only hateful; they’re unfaithful.
Otherwise, this is always a tricky question. It’s up to you. I think sometimes things said here are potentially actionnable or have a really negative impact on you as a blogger, and those things I know I wouldn’t put up with.
Right. Now to the point of the post...
Our new commentor thai-guy was rather adamant that he didn't want the likes of my good friend Jeff or myself posting comments on the blahg...
[It would seem that Haloscan has this neat little function where you can make it so that people like thai-guy can't spew their drivel on your site any more. Lets see if we can find it...]
It wasn't long after thai-guy made those comments...
[...login... username... password...]
that Robert M. took socialist action and decided to silence dissenting opinion.
[...manage comments]
That was completely fair in my opinion. It's Robert's blahg and he has a right to do as he pleases.
[...now where did that IP go? Right. There it is...]
I didn't bitch much. Just a single post. A very short single post.
[...ban]
Life was good.
[..."ban single IP or IP range?" WTF? Alright... IP range!]
I didn't think much of it untill the minions from the blahg started trolling over here looking for the arguments that they whined about over there.
[..."confirm ban IP?"... yes]
Long story short, our new commentor thai-guy is now a FORMER commentor.
Any bets on how long it takes him to run back to the blahg and complain that the "right" is suppressing "free speech"?
Update: Well, that didn't take him long at all:

I got banned? Seriously, I didn’t know. The last thing I posted was something to Jeff yesterday about how he was a false-Christian on a roller-coaster to hell (…well, I put it more charitably) and haven’t been back.
Ah..ha ha! I don’t think La Evans appreciated me implying he and his rubber-room pals were having their hoe-down at a gay bar.
Geez, how humourless and censorious. The trolls can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.
Hypocrisy - thai-guy taught me how to spell it and now he shows us the proper deffinition.
