Sometimes intent IS obvious even if someone doesn't explicitly state their intent. And sometimes intent can be inferred with 99% accuracy. And sometimes people's intent MUST be inferred, because they say one thing publicly but their actions and words speak another story.
And sometimes intent SHOULD be inferred. Letting people continue to play word games at the expense of the boards and the expense of other posters is not appropriate, in my opinion. It's interesting, yes, but not conducive to harmony. (Although: I suppose it's never been explicitly stated that "harmony" is one of the goals of this board! Maybe that's just my personal goal.)
I know it's Dr. Bob's call on who he wants to allow here, and clearly he wants to allow so to return. I disagree with that decision, just for the record.
