I'm not going to comment on  whether BuddhaInside should be banned, but I do
oppose it being done in this way.  We should only use the ban button to
enforce hard bans (cautiously!) or cases of simple vandalism (If
BuddhaInside's contributions are vandalism, then they can only be described
as *complicated* vandalism)

Please don't do this Hephaestos, I think it would set a dangerous precedent.
I don't think you (or I) should make this decision.
