IMHO, SPUI is that class of divisive troll whose aim is to skirt the
very limits of acceptable behaviour, in order to get some people with
power on his side, and some people with power against him. I've seen
them before. They are a total nightmare for everyone, and end up
wasting everyone's time and causing huge amounts of angst and upset
between those who see them as annoying trolls who deserve punishment,
and those who insist they haven't technically broken any rules.
Fortunately they are rare. I believe the only real solution is "nuke
from space". But failing that, just agree to agree with whatever
remedies are put in place, ignore the troll and move on.
