Maybe I haven't followed all those discussions. Here on the list at 
least, I have not seen any serious discussion, and certainly nothing 
approaching a consensus, on banning RK.

As it happens, now serveral people bring arguments for banning him here 
on the list. I haven't made up my mind, but I want to make up my mind -- 
I want to discuss first and ban later, not the other way round.
