Sue, The first thing you could do is simply decree that the user known as poetlister is not welcome on any project controlled by the Foundation. This would be a precedent, but one in fairly unique circumstances (I'm sure Newyorkbrad is a better place to update you on them that I am. But I have no doubt you'll agree the need for a ban.) Then, if people don't like the precedent of a decree, charge the communities to develop an agreeable mechanism with appropriate checks and balances, to handle any future cases - with the caveat that there must be some provision that can global ban people such as this.
