I wanted to search only messages created by him, but I did not know his user ID (21028), so I tried to look up his name with the lookup button next to the user ID field. When a surname of "Goff" is used to search, there are 4 results but none of them are Kevin Goff.

I'm not 100% sure, but from Michel's reply to me on this topic I think he was banned.
