        They did not say it respectfully. If this happened to someone else, then I would feel an obligation to take action. That comment is very opposite to my vision for the community.

        Edit: to be clear, I would not have taken action on a comment that just says “you write poorly”. So the answer to your question is no.

          Respect, like trust, is earned, never demanded and is easily lost.

          You can make others fear you with force, but if they do they’ll never properly respect you.

          Talking in oblique metaphors like the way you did to the person you banned won’t help them learn from their mistake either.
