While this is accurate, I believe there is a difference here.
Norbert was banned from Debian by the people who are delegated to make
that decision. He was banned from contributing to, and communicating
with, Debian.
Personally, I believe that includes Planet Debian as well. While I agree
that it would be wrong to remove someone from the Planet Debian
configuration without that background, I think that given this
background, one could easily say that the non-removal of Norbert from
Planet Debian was a simple oversight, and that therefore removing him is
something that anyone can (and should!) do.
