G'day Oskar,
Ofcourse, you are absolutly right, forgot that one :P
I don't think it
applies to this user though, I doubt he could be so reformed.
I know Skyring from a previous life (as an aside, I remember back when
he wasn't quite so concerned about the posting of a third party's
personal info!), and he's quite knowledgeable and has the ability to be
a *great* contributor. 'Twould be a pity to lose much of what he has to
say about politics or Australia.
He's also quite, quite mad, however, and the first time someone
disagreed with him we'd undoubtedly see a return of the behaviour that
led to the ArbCom ruling in the first place. This would only be
exacerbated by his ban, and by the knowledge that we can't stop him if
he really wants to disrupt Wikipedia.
Somehow (I know it's easy to say this as one who wasn't around at the
time) we botched the Skyring case. I don't know what we could've done
better (if anything), so this isn't meant as a criticism of ArbCom or
admins, but what we did wasn't as useful as it should've been.
