As requested, I have enforced the "ban" on DW's username.
Banning someone by username can be done through the Wikipedia web interface only by a user
with "developer" rights -- currently, there are 4 of us:
* Brion Vibber
* Lee Daniel Crocker (LDC)
* Magnus Manske
* Ed Poor
Just execute a "change query" to change the exiled user's
"password" field (which is actually encrypted) to something in clear text, e.g.,
"banned for 2 weeks per so-and-so" -- which effectively prevents the user from
logging in.

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] DW's new threat
I told DW, pointblank, not to insult people. But DW continues to
behave in this way. So, goodbye DW. It's time for a ban.
Could some sysop make this happen... AND, I'm sorry to have to ask,
but what's the best procedure for me to do this myself?
