Also, as Kid McCoy pointed out earlier, his 'argument' was basically projecting all of Louis' negatives and making it seem as though that was all he had, which at the best is horrible debating tactics and at worst, trolling. Plus, the fact that he had tried to argue these points once before in a thread I cited didn't help his cause, either (and could be construed as trolling since he already 'tested the waters' on his opinion, so all he was doing was trying to start shit up with the forum again). Finally, excessive fighter bashing (or excess of any double yellow offense, really) is a bannable offense. Bashing once or twice may be worthy of only double yellows, but if you continually bash someone, you can be banned (this has been stated before by a number of mods and admins).
In conclusion, I would say the ban was 100% justified, considering that the 'victim' (Animal Squables) had already done the topic before in another thread (and even admitted as such), but decided:
In the second reply to the thread (in reply to "Didn't you post this exact shit some time ago, or was that someone else?")
So, a combination of both his 'debating' method (read: loaded 'point' fighter bashing as Kid McCoy said in the thread, as he only pointed at Louis' flaws rather than his benefits) and his intention to bash fighters a number of times in the thread (mainly Jim Braddock outright) shows more than enough justification for a ban.

if restarting a debate to get more new ideas on it was a bannable offence,90 % of the mma forum would banned.futhermore,is was not the exact same topic.the new thread was soley debateing louis legacy,not louis and other old time greats
it is not trolling if you put logical opinions to support your arguement
he did bash,but it was not extreme bashing such as calling louis a ***got or making any other personal attacks against louis or any other fighter.his attacks were bashing them by
undermining thier skills to support his point,not personal flames such as calling them ***gets or piles of shit
futhermore,tam has banned members for questionable offences before,as well as banning
someone for a short period of time and letting them back later as a joke when they dont agree with him
1. Fighter Bashing (including refs, promoters and the like) won't be tolerated anywhere on the board. Criticism is fine, flaming isn't. Minor bashing such as "so and so sucks, is a dick, etc." is a double yellow, while extreme bashing like "so and so is a pile of shit, ***got, etc." will result in a ban
