A site search on @botrytis yield nothing other a single thread with no mention of him.

I just now saw this post: you're correct that the PM system seems like it's messed up.

Here's what I said, it's just an opinion....

"I saw your thread about @botrytis.

It sounds like he went to 'exclusive membership' status on AK, it's a security thing in which you have to be invited into viewing his content.

There's no way AK would have purged all his stuff"

Back to today:

By 'exclusive membership' I mean 'privacy mode'...like a 'gated community'. He would have to toggle another member's screen name to let them see his content. If you don't have his phone number, most likely you won't be invited in. I don't have his phone number.

Franny once explained the 'privacy mode' to us. If he was banned, his AK posts would look like mine. No avatar, and "banned" clearly stated. I earned my status, unfortunately. No way he was banned. IMHO.
