The issue was about banning *one* user, who edited disruptively, targetted a list of Wikipedians for attack, and said pretty nasty and vile things about them in particular, and Jews in general.
He did not edit disruptively.
Quite, I agree with Haukur. I don't see that he edited disruptively or called for Wikipedia or its users to be attacked. He made some very obnoxious comments, but we don't normally block people for their behaviour outside of the project.
I propose we lift the ban, as it A) wasn't made in accordance with our policy; and B) there is no consensus for the ban.
If, as people have claimed, he is here only to disrupt the project, then this will become immediately apparent from his edits, and he can be swiftly dealt with at that point.
