How?

Is it something to be proud of or ashamed of...or something else?

No...you are suffering from projection again where you project your faults onto other people.

Fortunately, qualified psychological help is available. Or just a good bridge for you to hide under might do the trick.

Actually, more like the account "marsreloaded" that you activated while serving a four-week ban on this account, which is a direct violation of the TOS.

Good-bye

that means you are someone pretending to be someone else under a different name, the name Zackback would then be a sock( fake name) for your true identity.

1)Actually, he set up the account after I had forgotten to remove his temp ban with the marsreloaded account, at least.

2)At any rate, I released his temp ban yesterday.

However,

1)it appears he thinks it's 2008, not 2011 and wants to ignore the TOS and engage in circa 2008 type personal attacks. We don't accept that here. And, sooner or later, those who attack people and demean them get tossed.

2)I leave it to Koho as to what he wants to do with this one.
The moderators don't have sympathy for Marsavalanche because of that.
He seems to have enemies and to make enemies on here, and I don't know why he targeted the above users.

3)We've seen numerous complaints about his postings. I even saw a complaint connected to a posting by him less than 24 hours ago. That's not encouraging.

Koho, do whatever you will with him...It's not personal. Users have to follow the rules. Dave wants the site clean and professional and so do the moderators. It's nothing new. The user will feel he was treated unjustly. It's not about my error. It's about his attitude. That's what landed him a temp ban. If we get many reports from other users, and see evidence of ad-hominem attacks that are frequent, that's gonna land you in trouble.

It doesn't mean we dislike users when we implement the rules. We want a civil environment on here. We said that scores of times in the past few years. If someone didn't get it, it's their problem. It's not our lack of informing people of the rules.
