And in the end SPUI has achieved exactly what he wants: he's wasted more of our time and got more attention, without measurably restricting his ability to disrupt the project. Way to go.
IMHO, SPUI is that class of divisive troll whose aim is to skirt the very limits of acceptable behaviour, in order to get some people with power on his side, and some people with power against him. I've seen them before. They are a total nightmare for everyone, and end up wasting everyone's time and causing huge amounts of angst and upset between those who see them as annoying trolls who deserve punishment, and those who insist they haven't technically broken any rules.
Fortunately they are rare. I believe the only real solution is "nuke from space". But failing that, just agree to agree with whatever remedies are put in place, ignore the troll and move on.
