I fully supported the ban on his posting privileges. His repeated diatribes
that "James is dead. Deal with it", or whatever was reason enough - not because
he in fact holds that uncompassionate and cruel sentiment, but because his
repeated expression of it was objectively calculated to flame and offend. The
really clear and unacceptable violation was his implied threats. He should have
been banned for that if nothing else, but since his posting privileges have been
(at least partially?) restored, I do not believe that they should be revoked.
Another chance he has found, but there should be zero tolerance for any future
misconduct of that sort.
