As I read everyking, their arguments are almost equivalent. Am I wrong about that everyking? Do you disagree with the statement in
this diff, and if so, why?
Of course I do. All I was saying was that I was skeptical of the idea of banning people who are following the law and site policy--the same principle applies to axe-murderers and terrorists. As I pointed out before, the actual situations we might see are nuanced and have to be considered in context. A person with a conviction on his record who edits articles on the Boer War may be unproblematic, but the same person might not be if he were doing other, more controversial things. A person with no known conviction but a disturbing POV might be allowed to edit for a time, but people would approach the matter with reasonable concern and action might be taken.
