I wouldn't forgive him just yet. He is the number 1 enemy of the Wiki as far as I know, and it is counter-productive to just unblock someone after they tell a random story and you feel "guilt".

At the end of the day, even if the Artiopas thing is explained, he still excessively socked and threatened staff members, both of which are serious offenses. We can't unblock him after he tells one "story". There is a chance that he is just telling the story to get unblocked, where he can begin breaking the rules again.

So in my opinion, we shouldn't unblock and forgive yet. He broke several severe rules, and just because the Artiopas story was explained, he still did several other things to justify his block.

How do you know? You can't just make assumptions like that, some people will think that the assumption is the truth. WE don't know what TDW will do when he gets unblocked. WE can't make any assumptions about it.
