Given the fact this is not the first time he ignores rules and insults others (the examples of JHK and Montréalais were posted earlier), I _strongly_ feel that he should be banned for 24 hours, or at least be summoned to discuss things at the mailinglist here. As I said before, he made valuable contributions to Wikipedia, but that doesn't make it allright to ignore all rules and insult other, good-willing, Wikipedians.

I say a 24 hour block would be a good place to start. Jimbo doesn't seem to be monitoring the list right now so he is probably the bottleneck. So I don't know if he would support even a temporary block at this point.
If this were a voting situation then I vote for the 24 hour block. But I'm not sure if this is such a situation. We did form a new policy to more strictly enforce our etiquette policy, no? Does this mean an individual Admin can decide, needs to have confirmation by one other, two others, the whole list, Jimbo, what?
