He is a good lad and I think he used to enjoy fishing some people in with his posting style. Asking to be banned isn't as ridiculous as it might sound. You're effectively ensuring you're making a clean break from a forum and no longer associating yourself with it. I did it elsewhere once but make the mistake of going back.
He could just decide not to type in 'Bluemoon' into his internet search? That would have the same effect as being banned, i.e. not coming on here at all.
I imagine one would need to be at least 12 to have that kind of self control.
If you leave unofficially then there's the temptation to log back on or retrieve private messages from other forum users trying to contact you. I was well known on another forum and asked the chief Mod to terminate my account in order for me to make a clean break from it. I found the place a major distraction when I was trying to apply for new jobs or keep up with correspondence. It shocked him and it shocked my friends on there too - but I needed the severance for my own good.
As I said, I liked Bob and I considered him an ally.
