"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

Dude was a dick on IRC so he got banned? Then where's the line? Who decides to ban what? I'm not comfortable with the idea of banning someone just for talking shit, because under those circumstances we'd all be banned at some point or another no?

No, because most of us aren't dicks talking shit on IRC.

Read the post again. Someone who was (allegedly - I wasn't there) being a jerk on IRC was hushed on IRC. Not on the site or anywhere else. Just on IRC. There's no statement that it was permanent.
It's been awhile since I was an op on an IRC channel, but this is exactly what I'd do if someone was off topic/abusive and wouldn't stop despite warnings - give them a "cooling off" period, then re-instate and see if they've learned their lesson to be a respectful participant in the discussion.

People can banned on IRC all the time, for less than what I read in the logs. The line is exactly where the channel operator puts it, you always respect that. He was even warned.
Here on the site its different. I would deal with banning very careful (and only do it when really necessary). The moderation system should take care of most shit.
But there are exceptions (especially for illegal stuff, though I guess in the US you can say pretty much everything, except when it is about scientology). Probably this needs to be put into a document so it is clear where the line is.

Sounds like he has threatened a 400tb ddos multiple times. That could be grounds for a banning.
