Lots of human beings are hellbanned. Anyone else who posted the way he does would, almost certainly, be hellbanned.

Hellbanning is not failing to treat him like a human being.

If you want to make the argument that there is a good reason consistent with the purpose of the community to excuse conduct in his case that would otherwise merit hellbanning, that might be an argument with merit -- without the argument being made, I don't see it, but it might be there. But, in any case, that's not am argument you've made.
