Well, Matthew Moulton has been, IMO and in the apparant majority of opinions,
a jerk today.
*BUT* If you search back, you'll notice that he's been an infrequent,
generally reasonable poster for upwards of 6 months. His track record on
usenet is bad, but ultimately that isn't his track record here - although it
should be taken into consideration. Other people have (again, IMO) been
ruder, or less considerate, without a call to block them from service - they
just haven't been as rude in as short a time.
If he continues to post in the same vein, then yes, I think he should be
ToSed - he's being obviously disruptive, and that falls under point 5 of the
Terms of Use.
But if he apologizes, or even just stops being a jerk, then he should be left
to his own devices, such as they are(1).

1:Like Todd, I guess I'm just not impartial enough to get around someone's
personal offensiveness to see the inner greatness of their models.
