How bout an agreed approach going forward with this saga?
The 'sitting out a ban' process doesn't apply in this instance since we're past the point of no return on that score, no?
So, why not take the stance, that as long as he's not acting like a douchebag, we all agree to leave the dancing gifs and pretty pictures out, and therefore let the poster have the best chance possible of carrying on posting? He's not harming anyone. Let the system deal with him if it eventually must, but we can at least just decide to not help it along and advance the process, and instead just sit back and let things play out themselves.
It's summer, birds are tweeting, it's lovely out there and let's spread some love, eh?
