I see nothing inconsistent here. Eric should get an indefinite timeout until he
requests cancels on the posts that clearly are over the line, acknowledges he
erred and that the ToS does apply to him, and apologises for causing part of the
ruckus... plus some (fairly sizable in his case) definite amount as a reminder
that he should not trifle. I would not support a permanent irrevocable ban for
Eric, at this time, because in the last year, at least, he has not been
previously warned. He should have been, but he wasn't.
You cannot let a puppy pee repeatedly, do nothing, and then all of a sudden haul
out the shotgun and blow him away without any prior warning. Not if you're at
all reasonable and consistent. Of course consistency here is something that has
been lacking for some time.
While we're on this topic, you yourself, among others, should be subject to
exactly the same strictures for your hand in this. You've been asked not to do
stuff like you did this time before, haven't you? The only difference I see is
that I would go with a shorter definite amount tacked on in your case than I
would for Eric, as your transgressions, however vulgar, are somewhat less
severe. But that's a judgement call and it's not my judgement to make, this is
all just my opinion.
Hope that clarifies matters.
