I see your point, but does it warrant a perpetual irrevocable ban on

Scott,

When someone demonstrates a permanent pattern of disruptive behavior, with no counter-balancing pattern of useful contribution, their presence is purely a distraction. Ignoring a distraction is preferable, but some distractions cannot be reasonably ignored; they force themselves on us.

They constantly cost us wasteful effort; in the aggregate -- over time, and across the community -- quite a lot of effort.

Such folk warrant banning.  Permanently and completely.
