Johnny Tremain? I don't think so, but I think their both Revolutionary period.

I always enjoyed sam's snark, but it started to get over the top a bit ago, and then he got banned the first time (was it a two week?). Things clearly went downhill from there. Wish you luck sam.

Naw dude, that is Johnny Tramain (Termain? I don't remember how that was spelled) though I think his best friend who dies was named sam too. Hmm...research time!

E: its spelled Tremain and the friend was Rab. All those three letter names always get me confused.

I hope Sam comes back eventually. I liked him.

I am actually really sad to see Sam go. He really made the general forums fun to read even if he was very abrasive at times.

Did Sam get perma'd? No duration on the second one. But if it's by his request, what happened to the 30 day from moonbear? This leads me to believing it's a perma that was requested by someone else. I dunno, I'm confused by it

sam!zdat was just temp banned for 30 days by MoonBear.

That account was created on 2010-10-14 03:45:55 and had 4170 posts.

Reason: Just hours after getting warned by Heyoka you go ahead and do this. I think someone is not learning.

Aw. I was hoping for something far more inflammatory. Like him PMing you with vitriol that you would post for all to see.

The first time I heard of Sam was when buddy (TL name Dalguno, if anyone remembers him) says to me "Have you seen this sam!zdat guy? He seems really smart."

Didn't know him well myself but still kinda sad

Sam is really friendly in IRC. I think all of you consumer zombies just bring out the worst in him!

Well, TL (actually, online forums in general) are generally aggravating for extroverts with pronounced ideologies. Still, RIP Sam, enjoyed reading your stuff.

I agree. Even though he was tragically misguided (

), he was a really smart and thought-provoking poster. Ah, General Forum! Wherefore must thou corrupt thy users so?

I'm going to miss sam, he had a tendency to over philosophise at times but was always fun to talk to.

I'll miss Sam, but I can't say I didn't see this coming.

He gets really worked up about stuff, eventually he was going to get permed, I guess its better if he goes on his own terms.

What did he do? E: NVM, I read the wrong threadpages T_T

I'm not surprised that he was banned.
