Rant has come back and been a productive member of the staff ever since; not to mention that he has years of doing good things for the site behind him.
Anarchist, on the other hand, does not have the same distinction of being a useful member as Rant. It's also obvious that his biting was not merely "harmless trolling" or a "routine nuisance," but rather "deliberately using underhanded methods to unfairly win battles." He mixed the bitten portions in with what were (presumably) his own bars, and even went so far as to locate and use a nameplay against Esso. That's completely contrary to every philosophy of battling honor, and one of the biggest offences one can commit.

So if you rob a store with a gun, but in your head you had no intentions of shooting/killing.. is the penalty less? As opposed to someone who runs into a store with a gun, doesn't shoot anyone but has a killer mentality?
EDIT: And this is in no way me defending Anarchist, that was a fucking stupid what he did. Just trying to balance out the double standards here.
