Sugarman likes to brag that he's been banned from Glenn Greenwald's blog. However, that has not stopped him from posting there... (since it's not a Salon-wide ban, he can only be deleted after the fact). He continues to trash the place, which has resulted in open comment threads being closed pre-emptively, leaving only one or two of them open, and that never used to happen.
Tonight, though, we have a first. The most recent comment thread, after having some more of sugarman's comments deleted, has also been closed, leaving GG's readers with no where to gather at all.
Just a suggestion: you might all do well not to engage sugarman here, or elsewhere, since it's all part of a pattern with him. The occasional reasonable-sounding post, then an increasing frequency as he tries to take over the thread, and eventually some kind of meltdown, complete with scatalogical language.
