It's more annoyance on an issue I feel is dragging down the forum, a forum I've enjoyed and been apart of for a while. It's fairly obvious which new poster a guy like moon is, using the same style that got him banned, yet he's allowed to continue under his new name. You're right, we are all grown adults. We should be capable of dealing with irritating posters but, we can't. The irritating returning posters are over running the forum, and the long term posters calling them out and reporting the posts are the ones being punished.
Save the self reflection advice for yourself next time.

Cripes man - everything is a fight with you.
Your post was confrontation and abrasive.
It is really hard to have a dialogue when that's the starting point.
If you aren't that angry about this - then why is this such a big deal to you?
This forum has an ugly side to it in which certain posters are targeted until they are banned. New posters are accused of being returning posters - and while some of the are - we aren't going to over-reaction and ban folks until we are certain. In some cases we choose to give people a 2nd chance if we feel they are showing changes to behavior.
But when the forum immediately starts a witch hunt - it makes that hard.
There is an ongoing discussion with the moderators on how to deal with the overall issue of returning users in an effective way. So we aren't ignoring the issue.
And again if you are getting worked up about certain posters who we haven't punted - the ignore feature is there for you.
