The user RachelCorrie is using their user page to show photos of Rachel Corrie and links about her death. She died while playing chicken with an Israeli bulldozer, in protest of the destruction of Palestinian settlement. The user has made no contributions other than turning their user page into a non-NPOV memorial to Rachel Corrie. I move that the user be banned. If their IP can be matched to another user, I think that the user should be warned against doing that in the future.
OK, then, while we're at it, I move that Jesse Alter be banned too. He is using this listserv to make NPOV comments about the death of Rachel Corrie ("died while playing chicken"). Granted, there's no rule against POV on the listserv, but there's no rule against POV on a user page either. If we're going to ban RachelCorrie over this, I think it's only fair that we should ban Jesse too.
This is the same Jesse Alter who previously rose to the defense of Vera Cruz/Lir, right? Hmm....

Ouch! You got me!

Well, actually, I'd like to (posthumously) withdraw my objection to Lir's banning. I've found through conversation with Lir that they ARE posting as Susan Mason, and they are making personal attacks on people and they're lacking a uhh...cooperative spirit.

Then Susan Mason is banned, too.
