Beats me. To the admins' credit they put him on the bench twice in relatively short order for the pedophile and inbred remarks.
Ignore is working for me. I'm enjoying the place a lot more, though I'm still not as active. Res' stalking obsession is fairly obvious, even to those who don't like me, like ACW, who recently made a joke about it. My guess is that Knight recognizes the value of a few pot stirrers and Res does a good job of saluting certain flags that are valued here. That and aside from following me around, which is only really making my point, he's kept enough within the lines that it's in the "what do you do?" category. And, again, when he stepped beyond that he was given bench time.
