As a human being, I am also in favor of compassion, decency, and forgiveness. Unfortunately, these are virtues that JonMon is adept at exploiting, and he has overspent his account. I commend you for serving as a community backstop in those virtues, and we're a better community for it.
I'm afraid I can't agree with your characterization of needless and gratuitous cruelty, however. Satire has to sting, or else it's useless. An unpleasant dose of satire is an obvious possible consequence of trying to silence a community with a bogus lawsuit, but JonMon's track record suggests that he doesn't actually learn anything unless the consequences pass from hypothetical to real. I'm doing my part to make them real.
