I think we should un-ban whoever this is, that Elian's talking about.
Elian is a responsible person, and he would never knowingly sponsor a vandal. And even if by some rare chance Elian is wrong about this person, it wouldn't hurt because they could be re-banned if needed.
I say we should listen to Elian in this case and do as he suggests.
I trust Elian to do the Right Thing.

Yeah, unlesss someone remembers something useful.
In my opinion, this ban was caused by the 'death threat guy', suspected to be '24'. But the ips being blocked are from a very broad block, 142.177.* belonging to sympatico.ca, a major Canadian ISP.
What I suspect is that the new 142.177, making good contributions, is entirely unrelated to '24' or 'death threat guy'. '24' in particular is very unlikely to be capable of posting anything even remotely coherent.
