Let's just allow a cooling off period.
I don't think any further discussion on-list is necessary concerning the free advertising proposal, if it must be discussed, a discussion on-wiki might be more appropriate since this is an en.WN issue.
Taunting the user on-list (especially when he/she can't reply) probably accomplishes very little.

Should a list moderator completely ban this "person"?
Ironic that he trots out Orwellian analogies. Particularly considering a substantial number of the 'topically appropriate' articles I've contributed to Wikinews.

You're a pig just like in Animal Farm. The community is created by everybody, but some people have more priveledge. You call in your friend to ban me, because you don't like my speech. That's exactly what you did. You banned my speech. You had someone put a muzzle on me. That is the society in which you've chosen to live. Suppress what you don't like, at the point of a gun. That's exactly what you did. Face it. You're Orwell's pig.

Nice community, created by police for police.
No. You're *trolling* AGAIN.
This is a meritocracy. Look the word up. I couldn't give a flying fuck
what you think of me, and nobody forced your messages through review to
pigeonhole whatever allegedly persecuted political minority you like to
think yourself a member of.
That was done because of the utter absurdity of how you were
'supposedly' contributing to the discussion.
Look at the links you were pointed at, actually read the content of
them.
