I think we need to consider what they destroy and how without consideration of what good things they have done. In other words, if some one is accused of destructive behavior, evidence that they wrote a good article or were polite in some other context is inadmissible evidence. After it is determined that we are dealing with someone who regularly transgresses, then as we consider remedies we might consider all the wonderful things they did.

Basically the same question as above; when are people "highly detrimental to wikipedia"? The current policy, by my interpretation, states that someone is highly detrimental to wikipedia if their personal attacks are extreme. Which is obviously far from a clear-cut answer.
But the practice is that someone is highly detrimental to Wikipedia, when the sum of what he brings is lower that the sum of what he destroys.
