A temporary banning is also a nice compromise between
those who do not accept that situation any more, and
those who think it is acceptable. And imho, temporary
banning is an option that any sysop could "initiate",
that is just to us, all together, to discuss what
temporary means, and how we could use that time-out.
Oh, and I mean by that...not that any sysop can just
wander around and ban the user he has problem with.
I mean that when there is a wide concern over a user
repeated wrong behavior, and that the user just loose
his "temper", then, just as we practice "protecting a
page", we can practice "protecting other editors". A
page protection does not last forever. Once the ones
disagreeing on the talk page find an agreement, the
page is unprotected.
