Jimbo unbans Brexx unilaterally, and all hell breaks loose. Options

[Alison]

Oops! It looks like Jimmy just got a notion to unban Brexx, who's been socking for, like, years now. Every time he wades in with the sysop buttton, mayhem ensues. Whether you agree or not about "banned means banned" and the effectiveness of banning anyone in the first place, you still have to question the wisdom of this move.

So can I just go ahead and unban, say, TheKohser with a simple "Behave yourself, I'm sure many people will be watching"? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif)

I would advise Wikipedia's admins not to take any action whatsoever if Brexx causes any further trouble. I'm serious. Let Jimbo handle it. If Jimbo didn't consult with anyone before making the decision, then he's obviously stating that he is solely willing and able to take care of any problems that result.
