So... - Amalekite wasn't banned for non NPOV (apparently there's no evidence of his/her non-NPOV edits) - Amalekite wasn't banned for being a neo-Nazi (the consensus is that we can't block people of any particular political/religious persuasion) - Amalekite wasn't banned for disagreeing with me about group X of society (the consensus seems to be that people are entitled to their viewpoints no matter how warped)
(I'm glad we got that out of the way -- hard as it was to put aside)
But - Amalekite was banned for making a threat to disrupt Wikipedia (even though this was off of Wikipedia)
Jay, if this user was to write on the Stormfront noticeboard "Sorry guys I've changed my mind. Let's edit our own encyclopaedia and leave Wikipedia alone." would you unblock him?

Many articles contain '''cited''' POV, but when they are unbalanced, or express POV in the narrative, they violate NPOV. Were getting off topic here. The point is admins are not allowed to ban others based on differences of POV, because that violates both the letter AND the spirit of the blocking policy, as well as NPOV.
Um, no, that's not the point, because that's not why Amalekite was banned.
