After all I've laid out - you want to ban him for a mere 24 hours?
Hopefully that means _every_ time they violate it.
I wouldn't exactly say I'm mad as hell, but I'm certainly nonplussed over
how the Wikipedia system bends so far over backwards to be "nice" to
incorrigibly disruptive people like this. Surely at some point the "cost"
in driving away other contributors who can't stand working with them must
be outweighing the "benefit" of making sure we don't accidentally ban
participants who could potentially be valuable contributors some time down
the road? Not to mention the sheer amount of work some of these users
create in cleaning up after them.
