I don't think he's banned, but he hasn't come back unfortunately.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

His posting privileges were suspended, all he needs to do is PM us saying he's done with the trolling to get them back.

If the behavior is threatening and causes negative consequences IRL, then that is internet bullying. Posting snarky comments on someone's FB status posts when all they have to do to make it stop is block the other person? Not bullying. If negative responses to your FB posts can be stopped by either taking an extra 3 seconds to spell things correctly or a couple of extra minutes of thought or by pushing a button, then that's not bullying.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I see what you're saying. I'd still consider it bullying (though mild bullying) because of the repetitive, indiscriminatory nature of it. If he only made those snarky comments when they were deserved, it'd be one thing. It's the fact that he keeps making them every chance he gets for every little thing, even on completely neutral statements. I guess it's impossible to know whether or not this caused any negative consequences for Brandon IRL, though. He seems bothered by it enough to make a status about it, so who knows.

But you don't know that it's indiscriminatory. We see all the posts that they both posted on, but who knows what Rob didn't respond to. Brendan seems to be the kind of guy that is posting about everything under the sun. I won't make that assumption, but the point stands---we don't know how many posts Brendan posts. We are only seeing the ones that Rob responds to.

I simply won't judge the scenario morally even remotely because I don't know the full context. It's as simple as that for me.
