Then they could write up a post and email it to you (or even me) to be posted.

Besides, voluntarily accepting a tempban _means_ accepting the undesirable
consequences of being tempbanned. One of these is that people can criticize

them during the tempban since, by accepting the tempban, they accepted that
such criticism would be legitimate.
