To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
That says that if we suspend Mieskie, he waits out the suspension, comes back and is still unpleasant, we ban him. It's clearly intended to deal only with the situation of a poster who complies with a ban, but doesn't learn the lesson. It has no reference to people who come back as another username immediately after suspension to get their last word in.
We don't have a policy on that.
You're right. We don't. Obviously, there's only a couple things we cna do. We can move from suspension to banning, obviously. That doesn't preclude someone from coming back under another name. (Incidently, I don't believe this will happen again with Mieskie, at least not any time soon.) I'm not sure what options we have if it becomes an incessant problem, short of having their IP shut them down. Which I'm not above.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's all about the discussion.
How's this for a Title?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, but there are people who like it more than Whip Appeal, and that makes me sad.
Wow. Umm. Okay.
First, I like Dead Horse because to me it has a tone of not-taking-ourselves-too-seriously, not of futility. YDHMV, as always.
Second, well, see my last post. Whip Appeal doesn't make me froth alarmingly at the mouth or anything, it just doesn't mean anything to me.
I think I'll just shut up and leave bureaucracy now.
