Amnesty for Wlk777.

Definitely in favor of unbanning him.

Is this perhaps coming from someone who was banned on the Hive and created a clone (or clones)?

The problem is that those who vote for a ban do so with bias and generally lack experience of positive interaction with him.

I have had both positive and negative experiences communicating with him. After he was banned the first time, as a result of a dispute with Alex R (he created a clone at that time and posted in the "Dialogues with Moderators" thread), I personally wrote a letter to the Creator asking for him to be unbanned. He was unbanned, he repented, wrote that he would not do it again, etc.... Then he was banned again permanently, and a poll was created about unbanning him – I voted FOR. He repented again, behaved well for a long time, and then openly started insulting everyone on the forum, and I won't even mention the swearing in the Battle.net game. It feels like the person is no longer afraid of bans, thinking that they will vote to unban him anyway. The second unban poll is already not even funny and seems like some kind of nonsense.

In general, this is a very insightful post and accurately describes the situation:

That's what I'm saying, his self-defense approach is very inadequate; he doesn't understand where it's just teasing and where it's already an attack. And he doesn't know how to respond to these attacks in a way that his opponents lose morale, rather than gain it.

He complained that he is given violation points, while others are not. This is because others understand the limit of acceptable sharpness in their expressions, and he doesn't. As a result, it's not a clear response from a tough guy, but a clown's tantrum. Which, of course, provokes further aggression towards him.

This is a common law of social psychology – the community somehow eliminates inadequate personalities. I think Valik knows him not only on the Hive, but also in real life.
