You don't need a witch-hunt when the witch is there wearing a pointy hat and holding a broomstick. Nor is it responsible to let people who are unquestionably dangerous, and have abused and manipulated Wikimedia and Wikimedians, run about because "over in this particular corner they've not killed anyone *yet*". Good users simply deserve better. This user is a persistent and unreformable menace, and there's no problem with saying NO. I take the point that creating a security state will not work - but that doesn't mean we open the jails.
