Another user, ComCat, kicks up a fuss with the seeming intent of being banned.

_summary.md

Random anonymized user pops in, pops off thinking he's heping instead of hurting, gets banned.

Shocking no-one.

But, really, though. This is blatant enough for me to recognize as, potentially, the (or an agent of the) hostile agent attempting to sabotague good will more directly. It's hilarious and pathetic, but noteworthy.

More likely, though, it's one of the intermittently persistent assholes I've had to ban from ##webdev in the past. One held a grudge for three years crossing two networks whilst using autism as a defense for his bad behavior.

This adds "sad" to the pile with "hilarious" and "pathetic".
