Could we just move on please?

Yep he did.

I wanted to do a little happy dance.

What did he finally do to get himself banned from Steepster?

He got a warning and then posted mocking the warning.

Is that kristinlee or someone else?

He got a warning from Jason essentially saying keep the comments appropriate and about tea. He made his own thread mocking the warning. Then it all seemed to disappear. So I am not sure if he deleted his own thread, or if Steepster did it for him. But he has been gone since.

It wasn’t kristinalee, it was someone else doing it. I think Jason zapped him.

I think the consensus was that it was a guy that also goes by the moniker “Phil America,” and happens to be the co-owner of Misty Peak teas and Nicholas’ brother. I think this was confirmed when Nicholas posted an apology on Steepster for his behavior and promised it wouldn’t happen again.

The things you miss when you don’t have an internet connection for ten days.
