Here's the problem.

Durova's actions stopped the editing of one editor for 75 minutes,
and ended with an apology.

Giano's actions fuelled the flames of drama, made a humiliating
experience into a bloodbath for Durova, were wounding and bruising,
violated privacy, and Giano has made *no apology whatsoever*.

Durova has been co-operative with the Committee in its
deliberations,Giano has been obstructive.  And Giano is *normally*
rude and obstructive.  I can see why the Committee might feel this
was a behaviour pattern that might need addressing, especially since
it has been the case for a very long time.
