If blocking is supposed to be preventative rather than
punitive,
then what preventative purpose is served by re-blocking this
user, if every indication is that he will not resume his prior
behavior?
On a related note, I really don't understand the notion that some people have that any
article written by a banned editor while he's banned must be deleted regardless of
whether it's a valid article or not. That's another instance of putting the goal
of "punishment" ahead of "encyclopedia writing".
