Not having reviewed the incident in question, I would tend to agree

most obvious sort, like inserting random 'farts' in pages, or
uploading inappropriate pictures, etc.
What did the guy say, anyway?

...and the ban will be undone immediately of course. Ed, please
refrain from using your sysop status as if it were a position of
