Let me just comment on this one point:
And, btw, I think we need to be very careful about proposals for blanket bans as well. We have several examples in the history of the IETF of people who have regularly been unprofessional, obnoxious, and disruptive but who have still made important technical contributions, maybe ones that no one else could have made. I think it is entirely
Maybe the objectionable party is very capable. But how many other
people who are at least as capable have been deterred from taking
part because of their objectionable behavior? The IETF likes to
think of itself as inclusive but - as somebody else suggested - it
really isn't.
"unprofessional, obnoxious, and disruptive" behavior is just that
and should not be tolerated. Otherwise you're just going to have
an organization of people who think it's fine to act that way or
at least aren't prepared to deal with it.
We've already had people saying they automatically delete this
persons posts - so exactly what value is that person bringing to
the organization?
