Really... it's a no brainer. If someone is threatening the team, what do you do? Wait and see if the problem resolves itself or take action? Banning a person is the last resource. If you have tried to resolve the issue privately and failed, why don't you take it publicly? We can have a meeting on IRC with John and the rest of the team and see if we can agree on how to move forward. What do you think?
