Okay, I thought about it.
I'm unblocking Plautus, and I take full responsibility for him as a "parolee" per your terms below.
Kind of like Frodo and Smeagol.
Wish me luck.
Uncle Ed

Ed-
you're probably right. Plautus is just a misguided individual. All this
calling other users "dumb motherfuckers" and "fucking ignorant assholes"
has to be expected from a confused newbie. After all you yourself once created a "Fucking asshole" account to make a point, remember?
Surely it is acceptable to lose 10 devoted, creative Wikipedians if we can keep a single crackpot around. I should really stop being so judgmental
and leave the important decisions to the people who got their priorities
straight, instead of looking at silly things like polls and hard evidence.
If Ed believes that an individual is reformable, then we need to all sit
back and let the spirit of Sun Myung Moon work through him. I can't wait
to see you do your magic, Ed!
I have just one condition.
If this whole thing blows in your face, I want you to take full responsibility for it. That means that I want you to go through every single page Plautus satire edited in the last few days, to take diffs of
these edits and fix them if necessary. That includes erased comments on
talk pages, something he is very fond of.
How about it, Ed? Do you want the whole community to share your faith, or are you ready to fix things up if that faith turns out to be mistaken?
