Abd has been banned on Meta for disruption, and it is pointed out that
one of Abd's supporters in his request for Custodianship was contradicting himself.
So, to summarize, Abd welcomed a new user without punishing the new user for making personal pages. You wanted Abd and the new user punished and, instead, Johnny punished you. Is this correct?
I'm not really seeing what the problem is. The new user's personal stuff was userfied and he has started
contributing to WV. He's a bit philosophical, but over time with informal and maybe formal mentorship, he could be a benefit to the project. I'm guessing this is him
here,
here, and
here? Maybe he could work on Islam-related or chemical stuff?
Why didn't you just patiently and politely work with him and help him understand WV's goals and projects, as well as, what he can and cannot do on WV? This could have been dealt with better. I'm surprised he didn't run for the hills.
I never asked for him to be punished.
You don't "welcome" people by encouraging their disruption by posting nonsense like that by moving it to his user subpages. However, Abd was doing just that. This is just like him encouraging
Marshallsumter. to continue his copyvio and other problematic behavior on Wikiversity.
It was very clear that the user kept up the behavior for over a month and didn't care about Wikiversity standards.
I'm obviously not the only one who is tired of him making these pages.
There are a lot of bad pages.
You can see
here that Abd has been encouraging some of the weirdest nonsense in addition to a user who was blatantly copyvio and the stealing of screen shots from a video game from another group of users. All things Abd never told people they couldn't do because he didn't want to upset them.
Now, The Joy, Abd has indeffed banned many editors without a block notice, warning, or the rest. That contradicts directly what you are claiming above.
