And you would be the coworker who talks behind others backs when they have no opportunity to defend themselves?

Nicely done...
Nonetheless, not exactly talking behind his back -- I've posted similar stuff in the past in Storch's threads, and had the discussions on channel with him. And, if you look, I never said a thing until his allies defended him first. I'm responding to the defense -- a very weak one -- that claims the last straw was a very, very little straw!
So not gossiping, and not attacking the helpless. In fact, I'd llove to listen to the conversation where you tell Storch that he's helpless and defenseless...

Its amazing that since this is the case his money is evidently good enough that he can still play their game. A double standard is it not?
You can pay to play the game and not be allowed to post here, but you can also post here without paying to play the game.
Seems to me that we pay to play the game, and that's exactly what a PNG'd or text-banned person gets. When you sign up, the TOS (the fine print of the subscription, or the Rules on the BBS) explain the contract you're entering...and since that includes treating others with at least minimal respect, there's nothing surprising about having access altered if you break your side of the deal.
