I have tremendous respect for Sam Spayed. His views are well penned and almost always on point (IMHO).
That said, the things Paul is guilty of, many others are also guilty of. They are not moderated for years.
Perhaps my empathy (and sympathy) is misplaced, but after also being moderated for a long time, I maintain that Paul's ongoing punishment is harsh considering his "crimes". Paul can be be verbose, but I think he is well intentioned..
