Hopefully, an end to the Deignan "controversy"

Tim Burke, in my opinion, has it just right. Following his lead, then, I'm going to try to put this thing to rest by using Burke's words, with slight modifications:

What Paul was doing in my perception was trying to evade my ban. I used the word "spoofing" in a casual and non-specific sense, not as a direct accusation of illegal activity. I didn’t think his presence in my community or the tone of his emails to me were productive, and banned him as is my prerogative.

I hope that's clear and sufficient.
