My understanding is that Islay was banned several times before his permanent ban because he was continually spamming all posts with political opinion - eventually the site owners just had enough of constantly having to manage him.

Of course Islay's opinion was often correct but as it's usually political, racist or ***ist it was also very often highly inflammatory. Bear in mind that nobody can have a discussion online with Islay because once he states something then to him it's fact and he will neither budge nor listen to any contrary opinion even when clear evidence is provided to him to show his opinion is wrong. Essentially he's very, very pig headed, and may he ever remain so, and people much more clever than him baited him and got reactions. In my view he was a massive loss to TDB forum because he was and still is comedy gold at times. One of the funniest things is that he just doesn't realise how funny he is.
Well said Deeranged. I think you have probably got a better explanation for Islay's ban. It is not all about the SNP.
