My recollection is that @proboards bought a vote from @markymark's bidbot, which didn't get cast, and the price of the vote was sent to @null instead of being refunded.
It's been conflict ever since.

My opinion? That's a lot of energy expended on a pretty minor thing...
Well, it's $20. If someone took $20 from you for a service they didn't perform, and when you requested a refund they burned it in front of you, I reckon your emotional response would be more concerned with the principle of the offense, rather than the actual monetary amount.
Not that you're wrong. I'd have reacted differently, myself. But it's not difficult to relate to the offense taken initially. Also, as I recall from the interaction at the time, @fulltimegeek made a comment that if he didn't get his $20 back, he'd flag @themarkymark forever. He then was trapped by his rash threat.
So the end of Steem begins.
I would have refunded it if he didn't threaten me but he isn't not a patient man.
Regardless, my policy is very clear and documented and not dissimilar to other bots.
Why was he blacklisted? Because he was spamming 16,000 times a day with @proboards.
He is now spamming equally as hard any comments I make. Just in the last 24 hours he has posted 13,244 comments in reply to my comments and a few thousand flags trying to hide all my comments.
But yeah, poor @fulltimegeek...

Frankly, the point made above that it's not worth the drama is pretty valid, and hardly more so to anyone but you.
You are clearly going to do you, and my views on the matter - as well as on bidbots - are not changing that. Sometimes I have found it best all around to give allowances to folks I reckon may come around if I do. I am not fooled: this has bitten me in the ass more often than not. But, when folks do come around the lifelong rewards from benefiting others, and enabling them to themselves disperse the benefits of coming around, far outweigh the the annoyance of a few bugbites.
Sometimes the bites we invite by not being patient are far worse.
But, I don't need to tell you that.
