I don't know who unbanned this post, but I would be interested in hearing why before I reban the original.

Reason for banning original: It is super obvious that filling up Discussion with such posts would not be good for LW, I have no idea who the hell upvoted that and wonder if they were fake accounts. Will Newsome is a poster with known mental problems and the possibility that he's making fake accounts is one I've considered before. The post contributes nothing to LW and seems like a no-brainer to ban before it happens again.

Who unbanned the original? Why?

If you have doubts you can ask Trike Apps to check the database. Sockpuppets should be easy to spot.

Ever heard of the Streisand effect? Of course you have, since that other incident, so you may want to consider updating.
