A bit confused. That previous thread you posted says you agree with the choice, however remorse the circumstances/choices/and so on. that led to that conclusion of a perma ban. Or am I misreading? Or are you saying the choice ought to have been later revisited?

it was a enterprise choice, it should not have been. and we must always at all times revisit our choices and evolve as needed. I said in that thread and nonetheless consider that everlasting bans of people are directionally improper.
