Responses   I am not in a position where I will be able to correspond extensively on this matter but I thought I owed it to everyone to try and put together a few general responses Yes I should not have used the are you now or have you ever been sort of construction and Ive modified it per MONGOs suggestion  While Ive seen Malleus behavior over time neglect basic civility it was incorrect for me to assume that its always been that way No the statement was not a personal attack  The reactions alleging that Ive been attempting to unperson Malleus are hyperbolic and simply not true  Malleus does not conform to the fourth pillar  One must conform to all five pillars to be a Wikipedian that is the social conract  While my earlier thoughts had been running along the lines of one must endorse all the pillars that puts an emphasis on belief rather than conduct  One can be banned after making many valuable contributions to Wikipedia  The various persons who are banned Jack MerridewBrer RabbitGold Hatetc is not an unperson  Betacommand is not an unperson  Will Beback is not an unperson  I would argue that my statement could be equally applied to any of them or other banned users for a similar reason each of them failed to uphold the fourth pillar although in a variety of ways and intensities and was banned for that  Malleus has the distinction of being the most prolific content creator being up for a ban in my memory  The content he has created has is not in question and he has had an admirable pattern of contribution to the encyclopedia but thats not sufficient  Much like Betacommand Malleus has been shown repeatedly that his style of interaction is insufficient and he has chosen to continue it No one has proposed that Malleus contributions be erased that his name be stricken from anywhere or anything  Bans dont do that and the proposed ban would not have been any different than any other ban
