Excellent response.

There should probably be an open discussion on the forum engaging members and other moderators where the banned user can see it. Let them discuss the ban as well as the subsequent harassment and honor their decision.

I am a former admin of a large forum. I let trolls and spammers wear me down over years and regret that I did not handle some things openly.
