Immediate permanent bans were allowed under the old rules in the instance of physical threats if the miscreant was new. If the miscreant was more established, it was the old rigamarole. In this case, solicitr is new to Board77 but not new to us, if you get my meaning, the old rules are gone, and, really, this sort of mess has no precedent, even in the days of the Charter. Ranger's choice, IOW. I'm personally not a big fan of permanent bans, and my gut reaction is to roll my eyes and snicker whenever anyone talks about backs against the wall when the revolution comes, but, all the same, that sort of threatening language should not be tolerated. At all.
