I've seen you make this point before (regarding what if you were banned
yourself) and found myself agreeing with it. However it does presume some
statute of limitation on ban length. Don's message earlier in this thread does
not indicate any particular ban length in this particular case. It's not clear
to me whether this is an indefinite ban, or one subject to review, and in the
latter case, whether the ban period is deliberately non-disclosed (and I can
see the reasoning for that too, if that's the case, but I don't know that it
is).
