Did you miss the part where he was soliciting money to manage? How many
times have the moderators explicitly stated spamming, i.e., soliciting
business form the list, would not be tolerated?

How much discussion could you possibly want? I couldn't believe the effort
the guy had to expend to get tossed!! This had to have been one of the most
active single threads in months.

 Sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me, from those who did not

As well as Gary where in one trade where he hits it big with a handful of
out of the money index options? If he was doing so well as a trader why is
he using his lunch money, looking under his floormat or whatever for that
last out of the money index option before the big drop? Yeah, I'm sure
jealous. I'll bet the moderators were too and that's why he got tossed.
Excuse me while I check under my sofa cushions.

So what that he said what he was going to do. I admit I was hoping they
would let him stay on the list through the next inevitable trading range
and volatility contraction, but what he was advocating added zilch to
helping others learn anything about trading except implicitly in what
exactly not to do and expect.

Is he a client of yours or something? I'm amazed with your background, or
what I think I know of your background, that you would defend this guy and
not completely understand why he got himself tossed. I agree something
smells.
