You can't really get upset if you start using proxy servers to register myriad new accounts, some for (in evidence's eyes) hateful purposes, and sending hateful emails to other members, even if you don't like them.
That's not the case.
Here are some facts as I understand them.
1) Someone called Fryish turned up a few weeks ago and accused Myop of being a wifebeater. Myself (and the other moderators) assumed it was CUS. We ignored it, and it went away.
2) CUS sent a very reasonable and friendly email to Gaywood and myself asking to come back. I didn't get it because I had set up blocks on my mail account, but Gaywood talked to me about it. I removed the blocks and had an email conversation with CUS. We got on well.
3) I checked the IPs on CUS's account and saw that he was indeed Fryish. It could have been Davydd Grimm, but I found out that he had moved out of CUS's house by then. I asked CUS three times, straight out, if he was Fryish. He avoided answering each time. I stopped rocking the boat.
4) CUS comes back. Everyone is happy.
5) This thread is created. Dudley welcomes Fanboy as our first troll. CUS says that Dudley is going to upset fanboy by calling him a troll. Zardoz
corrects him, and implies that Fryish was our first troll. CUS got a
bit touchy. So far, no harm, no foul, although already looking sadly familiar.
6) A bit
further on, CUS, referring to Fryish implying things about Myop, says

A couple of Modz start moping about something that I missed
A couple of Modz blame it on me because they have an agenda, which is part of why I left before.
I angrily point out that it's a shame that certain people can be neither gentlemen or effective modders.
7) I wasn't having the moderators being dragged through the mud again over this, especially when it wasn't true, so I
eventually posted the truth about CUS being Fryish as I knew it. CUS denied it outright, repeatedly.
People said nasty things to CUS. CUS said nasty things back. Fair enough.
9) Sheepeh asked me
how I knew for sure. I posted
IP registration logs.
10) No proxies or anything were used. The IP that CUS is posting from right now is the same as the one Fryish posted with, and CUS has said he's not using a proxy.
11) No emails have been sent, to my knowledge, from this forum under false addresses. CUS and Dimrill did have an argument over email, hence Dimrill doesn't post here any more. But
none of this (to my knowledge) was done in any underhand manner.
