Only two more tables until you achieve poker orgy! Chips will be flying every which way, nonstop suck outs galore, and you won't know where you blew your stack but damn it'll be a great night.

I disagree, what he did does not warrant a ban. Perhaps a warning, and if he re-offends, then a ban of no more than 3 months, no less than 1 month.
