I'm not sure right now who 142.177.* is, but perhaps someone will remind me. This is the death threat guy, right? Or am I forgetting?

Second question: Since when is the fact that some user was banned a valid reason (without giving any other reasons) for deleting entire articles?
This is not as easy a question as it first appears. My own position is that if someone is sneaking in to edit after a ban, it's really important to simply revert everything they do, in order to deprive them of the benefit that they seek. Debating over the quality of each individual edit only encourages them to stick around and argue about it, as if they had never been banned.
And my fourth and last question: Why the hell do you ban users who write articles like this: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asharites ???
Well, here's the thing. If someone does good work, and *also* behaves like a royal ass to others, at some point it's necessary to say, hey, you know, the good work is good, but it's costing us more good work from other people.
