I would really like to understand what Lewfather was thinking when he did this, and I want to have at least the partial belief that he understands it was fucked up and that he shouldn't have done it.
If you believe it is delaying the inevitable, then cut him loose right now. Anything else is just wasting time.
Why did Lew do it? Because it was fun for him, because he got used to doing it, because he got away with it without consequence for a decade, because he was still well liked on here, because the pattern was allowed to continue for so long, so on and so forth. If you want any deeper answers than that, you are pretty much talking about psychiatry. The "why" you are looking for probably has zero to do with message boards or the people on them, and isn't likely something that can be summed up into a neat little post to put a bow on this shit. Who knows if Lew could even give an answer that would suffice anyway.
Like the NFL has done with its rules, judge the actions, not the intention. It is the only thing you can be sure about.
