In case anyone needs a refresher, Clete has outstayed his welcome. Two people have left this site because of him. Two people who contributed a hundred times more to this site than he could ever hope to. That's two too many.

I had made my peace with Clete. Still have, in fact. I have nothing personal against the dumbass. But it's become abundantly clear that his presence is harming the site. There's only two effective means for dealing with a troll. You either ignore him until he goes away, or you make it so decidedly unpleasant for him to hang around that he leaves of his own accord. Option two is less dignified, but it tends to be quicker.

I will be removing this virus from the site, and it will be permanent this time. And if I have to destroy everything I've worked for on this site in order to do that, so be it.
