Sorry but many of us have got fed up of his deliberate skating to the very edge of forum rules. It is NOT bullying.
The mods decided how to deal with the situation. Terry is not prevented from posting and comments from Terry are more than welcome wherever he may wish to post.”
But how hard is it to click past a thread? I never found that difficult. He posted without spite. He was garrulous and urbane and he was a tad subversive, but I don't see why any of that should especially hurt any one.
I never managed, I feel, to get at the 'real' Terry but the persona at least was harmless! I liked him as far as I knew 'him'. Though liking is beside the point, to be honest. I hope if I didn't like a poster, I would still defend their right to post (so long as not racist, homophobic, Tory

-- just messing -- or any of the other bad -ists).
Yoking together all his disparate threads and throwing them into a bin called 'Terry' is a radical and pointedly personal solution. Merged threads are generally repeat-subjects. To me it's a bad and uncomfortable step for the mods to take
ETA I'm not saying anyone has been a bully... but the whole response goes close to it
