1.1) RK is banned from editing Wikipedia for four months. In the time he is banned, he will be required to do 'community service' work on Wikibooks on topics exclusively related to biology.
Fortunately, this did not pass.
Yes, this was a bizarre suggestion. Perhaps the next suggested remedy will require financial donations in reparation, before restoring a long-time user's editing privileges.
Community service is a very valid remedy in the real world. Why not here? A better proposed remedy would have added community service as an option RK could choose instead of a total hard ban.
*That* is just the type of thing that would have been appropriate for (using your own words) somebody who obviously cares a great deal about the project.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, then all your problems start to look like nails. The ArbCom needs more tools.

I perfectly agree it might be a solution, and a good one for RK to show his good will. And I definitly support this kind of solution.
But this can only be an option endorsed by RK himself. Not forced on him.
There is a huge difference between real life and Wikipedia.
We chose to participate and be part of Wikipedia community. We can also choose not to. And that will be okay.
We did not choose to born, and in most places we have no choice but to be part of the civil society.
