I don't like talking about this much because it turns into a public shaming too easily, but since there'll be speculation anyway, I'm saying this just so everyone understands in advance.
It’s a shame, because he *is* an intelligent guy. And I like reading his reviews. He’s on a level I wish I was in that regard. It’s a temp ban, though so he’ll be back

Oh well, I don't care for him anyway.
I'm really not a fan of the way he drives his arguments, always has an air of superiority complex about them.

I don't. I noted this elsewhere, but I remember thinking In Bruges was amazing when I saw it in theatres but Seven Psychopaths and Three Billboards were disappointing enough that I'm genuinely reluctant to revisit it. I did see his short film Six Shooter - between that and a couple of the standalone vignettes in Seven Psychopaths, I might prefer him doing shorter stuff because he gets unwieldy at feature length.
The acting was the strongest part of Three Billboards. Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell were amazing.
I also thought the story was a very fascinating breakdown of the ignorantly ineffective police force and how personal loss can drive you act out in the worst possible ways. McDormand's character is the kind who doesn't want you to feel sorry for her despite what she's going through, and she's very strongminded. But only to compensate for the pain she's building up inside.
I hope we see more from McDonagh soon.
