I'm biased so my opinion is probably worthless but I have been a forum admin elsewhere and I know how tricky that can be.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to debate it and those of others, people do vent but may face consequences (I'm genuinely surprised I'm still here) but I think Daystar had gone "Berserker" and as such needed a cooling off period. That's what I would haver preferred because his earlier (pre-Berserker) posts did intrigue me, they did make me think (if only to make me do the necessary research to come up with a counter to the points made). As an ex-admin (for various reasons the forum faded into obscurity) I do think that any action to circumvent a temporary ban is unacceptable (my view is you take it and complain afterwards if you think it is wrong) and requires stronger action and if the next stage is a full ban so be it (in my old forum it was a week, then a month and finally a full ban).
So yes, though I am biased, I support the ban ... if he contacted you personally and apologised I would be tempted to give him a break.
He never PM-spammed me BTW.
