I don't. He's probably contributed more real knowledge than most of his detractors.

I think it might of been good for him....Gives him more time to ride (though he probably rides twice if not three times the amount I ride)

Somehow I don't think there was any banning.
Just a break from the nonsense.
I take a couple every year.

You know him from a few witty words, a bald avatar, and a few pics of monkeys and men with their hands over their faces. I'd take a 1/2 of a cypress over 3 bottos any day.
we do need cypress back but I believe his ban was lifted and he chose not to come back.

No No No, we will NOT have seppomadness part II, that damned near killed forums, resulted in the
loss of an admin and in the ensuing vacuum the Aussies all emigrated to The Other Place.

I still miss them.

If I took you up on your request / suggestion to move this you might have to put your family into hiding for their own safety as their could be reprisals.

Although he's been expunged from BF, I found this. Good stuff.

While Botto may be supremely knowledgeable, his act is getting tiresome and old. With the knowledge the guy has BF would be much better served if he would put as much positive effort into the forums as he does with his worthless stuff....ie: "incorrect." How many temporary bans does it take for a guy to be peranently banned? There have been others here reprimanded for far less than what Botto has said or done. The real issue here is that Botto does not care what we think, or what the mods do. This is all a game to him. When he gets tired of BF he causes a ruckus and gets to disappear for awhile...then claim it was voluntary....childish crap.
