In the past, we have often discussed weeks and weeks
before banning long-term Wikipedians.
The issue *was* brought to the mailing list, and to
the "problem users" page, and to "RK/ban" and to
"Community case RK" and to Meta. He has been discussed
ad nauseum and it was about time someone did something
about it. He has been given countless chances to
reform and he hasn't attempted to in the slightest. I
can't see how a temporary ban is going to change his
behavior either and I fully support a permanent ban.
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.
