I support 24 hours as the appropriate banning period.  This is an 
otherwise productive Wikipedian who has out-of-control moments.

The disrespectful "Nazipedia" comments should likely be acknowledged as 
having come in the midst of a rage.

In cases like this we need some kind of a "mentor" system.  In this case 
the mentor could be a person whom RK personally trusts, and to whom he 
would pay attention.  When he shows signs of going out of control, that 
person could say "STOP" or some other agreed secrt word, and get the 
appropriate reaction.
