I did initially do this for all of five seconds and then recanted because I felt that a revenge-banning would be unproductive.
He has offered me a heartfelt apology that follows the 3-part model of a "proper apology": http://www.forbes.com/sites/sungardas/2014/03/13/how-to-apologize-the-right-way-an-apology-actually-has-three-parts/ which you can view in context for yourselves here if you want to see how an actual apology is really done: http://www.lfgss.com/comments/11963958/
From this I think it's clear that he can become a well-adjusted and reasonable individual as he obviously has a good understanding of what he did wrong and how to fix it.
Similarly, I'm sure that his failure to remove his own post in the ladies subforum and me needing to remove it for him was just an oversight. I mean what civilised person hasn't deliberately dropped a giant steaming turd right in somebody's living room and then accidentally not cleaned it up after being asked to several times by the upset hosts?
