Cumong, man. At least let the man have 100 points since they're broken and he can't earn any.

Follow the link Moleskyn posted below, and click on WD's posting history.  The comment starting with "Conveniently..." will take you to the relevant part of the thread.  Basically, WD, Stig, and Timaaay (who are always sniping at each other) were sniping at each other from stuff that happened years ago.  Good for them!  WD and Stig took it personal - WD brought a kid into it (either Stig's or Timaaay's, not sure), and Stig said he should f-off and die.  Seth ended it right there, with a further promise of Bolivian BanHammer should it continue.

I don't see points getting returned, ever...

I read all that. It's not like WD said anything negative about someone else's kid. He said don't be an ass and roast your kids if he does something stupid when he's 17. Which, yes and no. Come down hard on your kids when he's 10, 12, 17 and hopefully by the time he's 22 he'll be ready to be an adult instead of an immature miscreant. Like some people I know.

Was expecting a Craigslist-like ad for an appliance dumped on the curbside, but instead of a used refrigerator that reeks of 4 week old takeout food,  I was convinced that I would see a bedraggled picture of Wolverine Devotee wearing 10 year old tattered Adidas threads and shackled by shoestrings from second-hand Nike game worn shoes.    Lying on the curb.   And crestfallen.    Definitely crestfallen.

WD posts a lot of advertising BS. I'm pretty sure he is employed by an advertising agency in some fashion to promote UM AD partnerships. 

Brian probably told him he can't advertise here without giving the blog a cut.

Screw that.  

At his heart WD is Pure Michigan.

Obviously he loves UM swag, has a ton of it, and like his sharing of all things in UM history, he shares his love of swag.

When points return, get the point canon out and shoot it for WD.

 If that IP address was banned, any and all log in attempts by me with one or a thousand different screen names would be blocked, right?

Yes.

But if someone is smart, don't expose your real IP.

You can do that with a VPN configuration, connecting through a proxy or TOR, security-related tools, I've rooted my phone so I use it as a router and nobody would be none the wiser unless they wanted to block all of Sprint to be 100% sure, etc.

...or the #1 easiest way to do the end around an IP block... Starbucks.

Changing your IP is dead simple.

IP banning him doesn't necessarily ban his sock puppets if he's created them from a different IP or just uses any of the readily available tools to randomize his IP. 

None of that work would be out the reach of someone with even moderate intelligence, and wouldn't be surprising for someone who clearly has some obsession issues.
