My personal mode of conduct is that instead of banning someone to let them cool off, I should let them have their way for an hour to let them cool off. Just come back to the article tomorrow or the next day and fix it. Probably he won't feel as emotional about it then -- and neither will I.
Banning, even for an hour, should be reserved for pure vandalism. Disagreements about content seldom rise to that level.
I think that Jimbo has the right idea here.
