Should Boo boo get parole?

In a recent talk with Boo boo, he informed me that he is willing to behave and wants to come back to MusicBanter and join us in bantering.

I for one think he deserves a second chance. Who is with me!? :)

EDIT BY CONAN:

Alright, let's get a little project going, eh? Let me make this clear that this chart won't change anything - but perhaps will just give us all a little more clear a perspective.

Boo Boo's Parole

Cons:
1 - Has repeatedly caused problems for the mods
2 - Has already been given more chances to change his ways than any other member in the history of musicbanter.
3 - Was informed ahead of being banned this time that his behaviour was no longer going to be let off with a small ban or infraction, and still proceeded to cause problems despite the proverbial sword of damocles hanging over his head.
4 - The only people petitioning for his return, are the people who have the least experience with him.

On countless occasions he has resorted to personal attacks just because someone has a differing opinion from him.

Legitimate entries will be added to the list.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.

No one thats ever perma-banned comes back with a new attitude. You know why theres only ever been 3 who've had to ask, because everyone else who posts here isn't enough of a raging **** to get perma-banned in the first place.

He's had emotional barriers since he showed up here. He once got pissed at me and thought I hated him because of a fight over Sting. STING! I had to be told by another poster that he was even upset in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, the guy could be alright when he wanted to be. I liked his opinion, but for ****s sake, I think we've had enough.

I think he's a nice guy, I think he's funny, I think he contributes to the forum at least more then fucking guitarbizzarre, and I think the reason he was banned was outlandish to begin with. Everybody fights in the shoutbox, its really not that big of a deal.
And I think if upon his return he gets harassed, you should give warnings to said harassers.

Well... I don't know him aside from what I've heard of him. He seemed to have a good taste in music, and from his posts that I've come across he doesn't seem too bad. Personally, I believe in allowing people another chance, but then again I don't know enough about this to really give a decent answer. I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if someone could put him on "parole" (if that's possible - for all I know, terminating a ban may not be an option).

Yes, it has. It's for the most part just Tore with Skaligojurah and myself occasionally dropping in (along with a few others).

EDIT: Didn't see the poll. Voted 'yes'...

Boo Boo should get a social life.

Not a reason.

I voted yes and he better not make me feel sorry about that.
I like what I've seen so far.

What is this ? Some kind of pressure on mods to unban boo boo? I don't think it should work that way. I haven't been modded yet when boo boo got banned, but I understand that he has been given more chances than anyone else on this site. That's why I think it's important not to compromise in this case, but to go with one year ban all the way through. He'll be back, he's not permabanned.
