The underlying reason is he is a paid advertiser. The problem with letting a generally dislike poster (because of his rude, sarcastic posts) continue to post ad nauseum is it irodes the value of the entire forum, and therefore the entire ad stream.
What sort of things does he do that we cannot? Solicit business with his business signature line. Personally attack other posters to include name calling. These offensives occur repeatedly often several times a day, so much so that anyone else would be permanently banned months ago.
If the forum owner had a more global perspective s/he would realize this is the one sponsor that drives away and irritates more posters than ad revenue that he is worth. Forum users expect some level playing field and when you realize a reverse mortgage salesman is calling the shots the forum is rapidly becoming useless - just a veiled way to sell RMs.

Well said. Commented on his threads for awhile but noticed that my comments either were deleted or he posted obnoxious comments toward anyone who disagreed with him so finally just stopped posting there.
