BTW, I should have pointed it out at the time, but I learned after the banning action that Ray thought he had a basis for claiming that moderators had agreed to change forum policy. Neither of the other moderators thought that, but I cannot claim honestly that Ray outright lied when he said that the moderators had agreed on a change when he thought he had basis for making such a claim.
There was still more than enough basis to ban him. Despite him thinking that there was a basis for such a claim, no such conversation took place. He still was raising cain on the forum, and it was highly improper to announce a "moderation policy change" without first consulting with the other moderators.
I really hate to reopen this old wound, but I think it's fair to point out that Ray did not outright lie.
