I am almost afraid to make a post disagreeing with the general idea on the treatment of shavenlunatic. Afterall, no one likes to be banned. Several points I'd like to make:
1) shavenlunatic was in the wrong by not posting in a manner comforming to the stated guidelines of the site. Furthermore, his reaction could also have been more moderate.
2) Correcting his error is the provence of other members.
Having said above, I will also say that the manner in which someone's error is pointed out makes a very important impact on how the message is received and responded to. If you have had the unfortunate chance to be reprimanded in a way that makes your ears "go red hot", I believe you'll understand what I mean.
I would like to say more, but "we're" in the topic, AND wrong topic to boot! (aside: a trip to the Lounge with a new topic might prove interesting!) LavCat, may I add my apology to your collection.

Oh, and LavCat, from my lurking on the battle.net forums and the amazon basin, you seem to have had quite a uniqe experience. Many others were left in the dust with humiliation, while others tucked their tails in and ran away. Then there are those who collected their wits, collected some friends--along with some "uber" characters--and then proceeded "kicked some arse".
Might be interesting to have randomized qualities to the Uber-Diablo. My idea runs along the line of giving him at least one immunity and vulnerability; each Uber-Diablo will then be spawned with varied and randomized immunity[ies] and vulnerability[ies].
CHEERS@@@!!!
PS. Oh, if only we had more grandmothers like LavCat!!! :)
