I voted option three before noticing that he had been escorted out of the building. So I'm just going to claim that I predicted his ban.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Oh, he's gone. I wonder what the tipping point was? This thread or the Israel one that he started but never participated in?

Alot of evidence, after all, those many chances we gave him before, served no purpose. I bet he is now vanglouriously procaliming his great deed.

There's a third option you're missing. :p
Cumulative body of work?

What he was banned already?

Was it permanent this time?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
