Gothic.net's blatant and obnoxious misuse of power seems to be quite therapeutic to Gothic.net, perhaps they even slightly receive a slightly erotic thrill from banning people just because they've taken umbridge with them. I believe that Gothic.net is using this newfound power as an accessory within delusional reworkings of unsavoury memories, where they can become the victor in a confrontation or achieve what they originally aimed to do, and now it's become so valuable a tool for self-esteem that they're hesitant to relinquish it. For example, Gothic.net may be adapting their online escapades and splicing them into memories, being rejected by their dream prom date, perhaps, a situation where they use their power to assert themselves; "Hey, will you go to the prom with me?" "What's that thing on your face...?" "BANHAMMER!". Gothic.net may be using this as a comfort for all traumatic experiences throughout their sad life, possibly overcoming father issues. "You're a worthless sack of shit!" "Oh dear, father, it looks like I'll have to restrict your access to the household, this is your third warning now. Your offence warrants an IP ban, I think. Game, set, match."
The allure that these possibilities bring means that Gothic.net may have an almost sociopathic reluctance to admit that they have made a wrong or illogical decision, perhaps using their powers as a part of their overly defensive justification of their actions. It's my professional opinion that you proceed with caution; Gothic.net teeters dangerously close upon the brink of being a complete wanker.
