I don't think banning (forever) someone would be appropriate, for using
a bad word in his post, not to insult someone, but just as an example,
and also apologizing for this afterwards. If I remember correctly, the
practice was warning and banning for a limited period of time. Anyway,
this is absolutely admins call.
And I don't think it is appropriate to ban someone just for being
annoying, either. I'm sure he will realize someday (forcibly?), either
here in Lugnet or in some other place that being different to others and
being a pain in the a** is quite different things.
Whether my "social engineering" conspiracy theory would turn into
reality (am I going paranoid? Am I moultonized?) or not, it is a whole
different thing.
