I'm not sure right now who 142.177.* is, but
perhaps someone will
remind me. This is the death threat guy, right? Or am I forgetting?

This is not as easy a question as it first appears. My own position
is that if someone is sneaking in to edit after a ban, it's really
important to simply revert everything they do, in order to deprive
them of the benefit that they seek. Debating over the quality of each
individual edit only encourages them to stick around and argue about
it, as if they had never been banned.
Hmm! This bout seems to prove my point. When you start to delete an
offender's work (in addition to his generally accepted banning) you open
up that banning debate to whole new generations of disputatious
individuals. Do we love these arguments, or what? :-)
