If you continue to whine about GOAT it slogs the board down and gets threads locked.
Boring for most of the board.
And misplaced because that persona is dormant.
But have at it. He's still in your fragile psyche.
I guarantee he is dealing with more pressing issues than your ad hominems.
I will engage posters who wish to communicate with Aragoto, not GOAT.
WARNING: SOAP BOX LECTURE COMMENCING:
First of all, very few threads are locked. Very few.
If a thread is locked, then usually there is one of the following problems:
* Somebody has advocated doing something illegal, or voiced support for illegal acts
* People have gone too far with personal insults while adding no substantive discussions ("Go fuck your fat wife" is the classic example of this)
* A discussion has turned into a pissing contest between the parties involved
* Trolls from other sites are, well, trolling
By far, on the very few occasions where threads have been locked, the primary reason is the third one listed. These types of "discussions ("You're an asshole." "So's your mother." "Stick it up your ass." "Why don't you come try to stick it up my ass?") provide nothing of value to the board, and are quite tedious. Now, if the insults are witty, then the thread might be allowed to go on for a while. On the whole, though, I think it's a pretty liberal policy about allowing discussions to proceed. You are far more likely to get a public or private note asking everyone to be respectful than you are to see threads locked. We have a good group here, so the restrictions do not need to be onerous.
That said -- why do we care if a poster used to be known as someone else? And why do we care if a poster has chosen to place others on ignore? Let's focus our comments on the sniping in the Vatican, or the Supreme Court nominee, or the upcoming elections, or Bill Cosby, or the President in the United Nations, or whether the Cubs are going to choke up the Central Division title, or any of thousands of other interesting topics.

It has already been explained that GOAT's significant other is battling cancer.
The slimeball ndtnt over in Hammyland suggested the adultery insult.
GOAT explained that he proposed and was told she wanted to beat cancer first.
Right now it's a so-so proposition.
Instead of keeping the guy in your prayers, you chose to insult him in the most despicable way possible.
For the umpteenth time, I was one of 4 posters who posted under the GOAT persona.
Towards the end of the Original GOAT's time in Hammyland, I was posting probably 40% of the time.
So saying I am mostly NOT GOAT is true.
You must be totally devoid of any class and compassion to suggest such a despicable insult.
The Original GOAT is a good man. He provided a Kabuki character across several boards.
You are scum.
Pray that the love of your life never gets cancer.
You won't think it's a cheap insult then.
Or at least a 4-person version of Voltron?
That is freaking awesome.
That’s not you, obviously,

Let's move on to something else.
I'm sorry that your significant other is sick, and I will say prayers for her/him.
A bit of advice, though: Don't always feel like you have to have the last word.
Now go discuss the anonymous cardinal who told Der Spiegel that Pope Francis is a Machiavellian liar.

You are such a douche bag
There's a certain comfort that comes with having lived through and experienced so many different eras... and knowing with absolute certitude that the music of my youth was actually composed and performed by human beings.
Age insults? Really? Are you a grown man?
Seams to be some hypocrisy being played by you.
You can’t help yerself. Cheers!
Keep whining about a dormant poster.

Turns out that "Aragoto" is exactly the same persona. Coincidence, I guess.
