Sure Lawrence was/is being rude/difficult/whatever but does it warrant that much
severity?

If we consider the 4 cases (I know in recent times) that have been banned
1. Mark Lawrence
2. Thomas Lahn
3. jmf
4. and now Lawrence d'Oliveiro

that is also the (my subjective) order of rudeness (jmf is never rude but
highly troublesome)

Of course you/other-mods will have your own metrics
But please run your own abuse-metric-eval on this case again
And there is found a bug therein consider toning down 2 months to (say) 2 weeks

None of the above gainsays the fact that you folks — list-mods — do a onerous
splendid, mostly invisible job. For which thanks!
