Man if you change your name and get a new account and don't make it clear who you are/were, then you lose your status. If someone who has registered this year tells me how to behave I would have no problem telling them to back off, unless everything they've posted has been top notch. I honestly can't recall much of Sox's posts off hand but I think he usually sticks to the music forum?
I assume Darryl was prepared to deal with being called a noob, because such would be expected. Unless he's being a dick. I don't think he's really that much of a dick.
Of course, all this talk presumably defeats the purpose of his face lift.
