I don't know why he thinks he needs to be banned, but this isn't the first time a long-time regular has asked to be banned. Some people can't control their posting/browsing impulses, I guess.

His final PM request was indeed sad, but under the circumstances, I didn't want to add to his troubles by denying his wishes. Tyson, Eric and I wish gabe well and we sincerely hope he overcomes this and comes back.

Take care, gabe. You're welcome back any time. Thanks for everything you've done for us. What can I say...? Keep on livin'.
