My guess the "official" reason is that it was HH, everyone and their mother knew it was HH, he was banned many times before, and when he constantly argues with the people who run the site (which contrary to popular opinion is not me...I just vote on rule violations, sticky some threads, etc...and since the birth of my son which is eating up all the time I have at home I don't even have much time to do that anymore...I hope that subsides in a few months when he isn't hungry every other hour) it makes it hard to look the other way.
If it all makes you feel better about HH, he got his wish of being the professional martyr that he so relishes. Let's all shed a tear for one of the most victimized people in Jazzfanz history. Hey, if we had a Persecuted Jazzfanz HOF we could build him his own wing. Again, we can't lose sight of who the real victim here is....HH/JI/whatever new alt he comes up with.
I don't know what being a victim like that is like myself. Somehow, in the 15 years or whatever I've been on any message board I've managed to never get banned. Stunning really.
