The debate is about whether someone can arbitrarily declare someone else's behaviour trolling, for doing something we'd previously tolerated, and ban them indefinitely.

I don't think this is the subject of the debate either, at least that particular statement of it isn't very good...
Yeah, it does suck a bit. Certainly a lot closer than "do we allow people to troll", to which the answer is a resounding "no" from everyone.
When we indef. ban a user's "single purpose" sock and try to avoid banning the primary account, we haven't banned *the user* indefinitely.
Point. I think I keep getting confused between "block of a particular account" and "block and effective ban of a user" - if nothing else, that's a point in favour of single user single account! ;-)
