If you are banned from the Forums, there is a reason for it and therefore your comments on the Forums are unwanted.

I'm also somewhat confused about why people think we 'hate' Bart. I don't hate him. He's been banned for good reason, not because of any other reason than the reasons stated very clearly in the thread that outlined what he did and why it was wrong. The policy update to include specific language detailing that posting on behalf of banned users is not allowed was to specify just that, not some backdoor way of keeping out a single user. It was not specifically stated previously and needed to be; there is no undertone or secret meaning for it. The policy is straight-forward and direct (and reasonable!).
Of course cheating is not OK. I can't remember what the fuss was all about now and I can't be bothered to go look it up. However your freakish rush to institute a new rule is ofc aimed at one ex forum user, considering it has never been in existence before. And you have not, I noticed, addressed the points I raised - possibly because you see that there isn't a simple answer, so prefer to ignore them? IMO it's hardly an answer in response to my points to say that your policy is straightforward direct and reasonable.

The only saving grace is that these forums are very nearly dead now anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter what you do.
