Maveric, as always I agree with you -- and you still carry my proxy (i.e., I'll vote with you on this).
We need to craft some written guidelines, a short list of no-no's -- so we can point to it and say, "You've violated this once too many times. Take a day/week/whatever suspension".
We also have to deal with the aftermath of a username ban, should our sponsor, Mr. Wales, agree to such a thing.
A "banned" user might just (a) post anonymously or (b) create a new alias. We would then face the puzzle of correlating the new contributions with the old user; it could get tricky.

Disregard the user:V statement (it was made in a moment of anger caused by what looked like another loss of a good contributor).
I still think Lir needs to be told to play nice or leave.
