Background:
Because the suspension is so far removed I want to give you people a bit of background on this banning. You should know that this is unusual and it’s not something we plan to make a habit of doing.
septimus has, over his time here, 19 warnings - 18 of them in the last five years. Nearly all of them were for political potshots or for politically-based insults of one form or another. He was suspended in May of 2017 for a month.
In 2019 he began earning warnings at a quick pace again. He could have been banned then. Tubadiva made the decision to reach out to him personally. On his own he decided to take a break from posting provided we could do it quietly. We agreed. Initially to be a longer suspension he asked to come back early. He then was informed he was on very thin ice. He earned warnings again for the same behavior.
Earlier this week he earned a last warning. I shared it with the mod loop and Tubadiva again decided to reach out to him. His reply to her was something along the lines that he had to plans - possibly no ability - to change his behavior pattern. With that, we continued discussing his case and the decision was made to ban him.
Thanks for your time.
