While I have no problem with his ban, it is inclined to look ridiculous when compared against the treatment of some of those RK has clashed with, who have been far worse, and that now gives him something to complain about. Consistency should be king.
Agreed on both counts. It is frustrating when the outcome of a series of decisions is that people who obviously care about the project, and have contributed greatly to it -- but have a hard time expressing it civilly or manipulating rules -- are treated the same way, or worse, than people who obviously don't care about the project, have only recently arrived or contributed little of note, but are skilful at manipulating rules to their advantage.
