I have to disagree here. He's probably the single most active wiki contributor, and is also performing a lot of useful maintenance work that no one else would bother doing. His communication style needs to improve a lot, no doubt about that. But even so, his contributions are still a net positive for OSM. This does not mean that he should be exempt from the rules, of course. To the contrary: What I would hope for is consistent enforcement of the rules, with gradually increasing penalties. Jumping straight from spotty enforcement to a permanent ban, though, seems wasteful and needlessly cruel.
