he is treated like any other poster that constantly rants about certain members needing to be banned, and how awful they are, and how they can't stand to read anything they say, and constantly ask/harrass/beg/demand/complain/whine about why they are still posting.
These type of posters can't have it both ways. They can't demand to have such posts out of their view via banning, but complain when they can't read them. The latter suggests that they are only in it for the drama and flamewars. We take measures to minimize this when it gets to that level. We essentially granted zappas his primary wish, for ILA and bigmoney to be out of his sight, to no longer have to read "their disgusting filth."
He wants to have his cake and to eat it too.
zappas was not the first person to be put on forced ignore, and he wont be the last. If he REALLY wants to read their posts, he can log out, or open another browser. It's meant to slow down the drama for dramas sake.
This is how it's always been on JPP for years, zappas was just the first person to have a hissy fit about not being able to read people that he claimed he never wanted to read.
