My perception is that the banning occured because:

1. there was clearly a single individual who was fanning the flames of a
flame war which had potential to severely impact Lugnet's mission

sufficiently credible as to require immediate action (though obviously
banning the individual in and of itself does little to protect against
the threat [it does partially block the possibility of the individual
news bombing the server])
