You misunderstood. I don't call for a ban of RK.

First, I consider myself (like you, too) in regard to RK's writings as
clearly biased and not able to judge if he deserves a ban.
It seems to me that he really has NPOV in mind, but is too mangled in his
hatred against anything he considers as anti-semitic to realize how biased
his own writings are. However, I would prefer if anybody whose emotions go
that high refrains voluntarily from writing in this area. I trust people
like Julie more to write accurately and adequately about Wagner's
anti-semitism.  

Second, I consider a ban as really dangerous. As I already pointed out in
my previous posting, even a rumour of anti-semitism (justified or
unjustified) is likely to seriously harm Wikipedia.

Better be anti-Arab, it is politically a lot more opportune...
