Jeff's current temporary ban into a permanent one.

I would support such a move.

I oppose it on the grounds that Jeff very rarely breaks the Charter.
(When was the last time a posting of his was rejected for abuse?)
Those who dislike his posting style are free to killfile him, as
several have. I am also intrigued about why so many people enter into
dialogue with him. He is, through no fault of his own, I believe, not
really capable of discussion or of appreciating what others have to
say, only repeating the same items with slight variations.

In the meantime, I've revoked my temporary ban on Jeff and any
posts he makes will be approved (provided, of course, that they
don't breach any other aspect of the charter). I've also approved
all his posts that are still waiting in the moderation queue.

I'm sorry to hear it.

He's a Christian, though perhaps a strange one, and pretty
inoffensive, it seems to me. I can find nothing in the Charter that
stands in the way of his continuing to post here.

Yes, I concur.
