I'm not one to ban over an opinion I don't like.

HOWEVER, he's made his doom and gloom opinion known in every page of every thread for weeks now. Literally everyone knows his stance and reasoning (or lack there of) for it. At this point he's not adding anything to the discussion or providing diversity of opinion; he's just yelling the same thing over and over again and stopping everyone else from making easy to read conversations. I say ban him for a week at most. Not indefinite, just long enough to let us talk about news in peace and maybe let him calm down. Once he comes back we see how he behaves and go from there.

Again I welcome different opinions, but after the thousandth time of repeating yourself you need to let others speak
