"So what does people like LEB & Skip bring to the table?"
In respect to climbing-related contributions, skipt had the edge, but only by a small amount- they were both waaaaay over on the 'minimum' end of the Climbing Contribution Scale®.
In respect to general presence in this 'community', they were far apart- skipt's posts were 96% negative and sometimes downright hostile....Lois was annoyingly persistent, but her tone was usually positive. Yes, she would sometimes try to be 'harsh', but anyone who was offended by her weak, silly efforts should be ashamed of themselves.

Of the 6 who were banned, at least 3 were pretty wealthy (compared to most people) and their wealth was self-made.

Locker it goes to personality traits.
Driven, focused, outspoken, assertive, not too worried when people didn't agree with them.

I'm just saying I don't think its a coincidence.
And I think you are proof that you can have those traits without being wealthy. LOL
Edit: While I posted this, you made your edit... I think we're saying the same thing, but in different ways. LOL

Locker, who was it who said there is a leisure class at both ends of the social spectrum?
Obsessive, myopic, verbose, dictatorial, kinda antagonistic?
That's the other side of the coin.

DMT, if I made a list of the top 10 people most likely to be banned, you wouldn't be on it.
But you probably WOULD be on it if I made a list of the top 15 people most likely to be banned.
Because you have some of the same traits, not just to the same degree. You have something to say. You are often provocative and you don't overly mind hurting people's feelings at times.
Also haven't you already been banned on summitpost?
edit:
Of the list of the Damned? One of them, just one, I hope is never allowed to return to this forum. I'll give you one guess who...
Starts with an F...?

Locker/Norton?
Darn, Norton, I'd offered to combine with you on the ticket (I'd even give you top billing) -- and we could have claimed jstan's endorsement!
No offense meant to Locker, of course -- I don't want to be next on the List of Purgees.

And DMT gets the 420. Others weep at the missed opportunity.

John, I doubt you're even on the radar.
Just to be the devil's advocate, skipt did make some rather good and thoughtful comments on climbing on a few threads, IIRC. Useful stuff, so I think he's a climber.

They got addicted to their own schtick (laws knows I've done the same).
I don't know exactly what your schtick is, but "as#@&%e" certainly doesn't apply to your persona here.
I doubt there's anyone on ST who doesn't irritate someone. But that's a whole lot different from behaving like an as#@&%e.

That hurt man, that hurt.
Take it as a compliment.
Sheep are never at risk at being banned from anything.

And when pointed out that many folks didn't like their as#@&%e behavior? In every case they persisted with that behavior BECAUSE it rubbed others the wrong way.
to offer up a different perspective....the people who responded to inane posts gave the "banned" whatever, power that could be attributed to them. there is nothing more powerful than a non-response to an a-hole. of course i know this from my bantering with fatty/leb/skipt and in particular RJ.
they only got on peoples nerves because others let them. just a different prespective.
