Half of this website bending over backwards to make sure not to accidentally use the wrong pronouns of someone who is clearly a troll acting in bad faith and encouraged suicide.
Wacky.
Two separate things.
One is a matter of principle about not herassing people over chosen identities, regardless of how odd they are.
Another is them breaking rules that warrant a ban.
The second does not invalidate the first. And lumping the first in with the second devalues the second.
If a troll gets a kick out of seeing their preferred trolly pronouns used while being banned for other stuff, then that's a price in willing to pay to respect people generally.
