An analogy by way of explanation: Picture a huge encyclopedia. Imagine that it has a list of contributors, with a profile of each one. When a contributor leaves the project (whether by his own choice or that of the publishers) his name will remain on the list of those who contributed.
I've used this analogy before to explain why our front page says over seventy thousand editors even though only around seven thousand are still active. It's just as apt for the profiles of the contributors as for their number.

Yes. As in "barking mad". http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bar2.htm

Why not threaten a DOS attack on your yearbook publisher?
On the other hand, you would probably end up in jail.
(Oh I just realized who posted that, he claims to have another editor account in some SEO forum, maybe if he tells us which one, we could remove them both)

Im just a little baffled as to why you wish to keep profiles of exiled editors in your system.
As for me claiming to have another editor account, surely you could answer that one, you seem to have all the answers and solutions, so if I do have another editor account, feel free to close them all. I wont tell you either way, surely that spoils the fun!
ODP is not an encyclopedia, Wiki has that covered. The ODP is a directory.. a directory! Paint it how you like, at the end of the day, it lists sites. Thats about it. No one could care who the editors are, what they look like, and what their website is (profile information). As far as 'Joe Public' is concerned, they want to see good quality sites in a logical order. (I wont get started on this, i could go on for weeks.)
All I ask is for a reason, a legible, valid, and unquestionable reason for keeping profile pages online. I mean the site I have on my profile is no longer my site, the picture I posted isnt of me, hence keeping that live is a criminal act. At the end of the day, I really couldnt give a toss, I just dont understand your logic, and it isn't the first time!

Analogies irritate me, why someone would be compelled to use analogies in these circumstances is ludicrous.brmehlman said:

Seems to me that this conversation has ground to an impasse because no matter what threats ex editor mrleroy issues, we won't be removing his profile. Closing.
