> I know nothing about the history of this issue, but apparently he did something Not Good with the old account?
Unfortunately this is a case where you need to know the history.
The man is, unfortunately, mentally ill, and is not coping very well. His messages are frequently incoherent and unconstructive (and occasionally downright offensive). He has a single agenda - promoting his work - and deviates from it only long enough to remind people that god is speaking through code he wrote. I am not exaggerating.
He's been shadowbanned for quite a while. He's more disruptive than helpful, regardless of his skills as a developer.

I repeat: you cannot ban a person. Does he know his account is shadowbanned? If not, all someone has to do is tell him, and he can create a new account. Re-enabling the old one is a non-issue.
(Right? I really don't understand why the re-enable is an issue at all. Not being sarcastic here.)
