I think that if he or anyone else told another editor they ""supported terrorism"" they should be removed from the topic area permanently. I don't think it's obvious that's what he said. He says it's not what he meant and even the editor he said it to never said that's how he read it. I think WIH deserves a fair hearing and I don't think he got one. If after hearing his side of the story uninvolved admins are convinced that what he says amounts to ""you support terrorism"", then he should receive a very harsh sanction indeed. There should be a fair and equal process for everyone. I don't think that happened here. I also think things like this make people feel AE is random and arbitrary. With no confidence that the rules are applied fairly and equally editors will feel free not to follow them.   "
