Zoe: IF he is unbanned, and IF he continues his usual obnoxiousness, I will leave. It's that simple.
I'm with Zoe on this one. My feelings exactly. (And note that Zoe and I are poles apart on most issues.)
Erik suggests that we 1) Place a time limit on the current ban, e.g. March 2003; alternatively 2) Set out clear conditions which she can meet to be unbanned immediately.
This is reasonable. Given the severity of past offences by this user, however, a certain minimum time limit is essential. March is far too soon. Personally, I'd vote for July, but would settle for May.
