The question is not whether it elevates the conversation, but whether this is a sufficient reason for a ban.

I would think that a ban should be based on what you do to the tone of the conversation.

With that said, I don’t see how this email meets that standard.

If someone is consistently debasing the level of conversation then yes, it does merit some kind of action. Unmoderated communities turn to shit very quickly.

These kind of bans are never about "one thing." I'm sure this is just the straw that broke the camel's back, especially given ESR's history.
