Is there some weird reason they don't always ban right away?
Maybe they need to wait for more offences, so it becomes an actionable harassment case then.
Can't be that. They would have a perfect right to ban me if they didn't like the cut of my jib, or for no reason at all.
There is nothing wrong with debate. Some people have some valid questions while others are complete jags. It is always fun to give them enough rope to hang themselves. Believe me, there are some real pricks on FR who make some trolls look like the Pope.
