"They're not banned! They are free to continue tweeting as soon as they abandon their principles and bow down to Twitter's arbitrary rules!"

It's not an arbitrary rule, it's spelled out in their Terms of Servoce

The fact that it's in the ToS doesn't mean it's not arbitrary.

So
they
aren't banned, just the one tweet is. Sounds good, but the reality is that unless and until they recant that one tweet, then they
are
banned.

They don't really have to recant it, just delete it. It's a pretty mean tweet anyway, not sure why its worth defending
