There was a thread about banning Edwin from the Forum about a year ago,
here:

http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=13151

I didn't intend to defend Edwin's behaviour. However I don't consider
myself "at home" in the German forum; I do occasionally read or post an
article but I'm not part of the social fabric there. The forum does have 
moderators and those moderators can ban people; the forum is a healthy 
and lively community who, I should think, can handle their own affairs. 
If they feel that their way of dealing with Edwin is best then I am not 
in a position to tell them otherwise.

Bye
Frederik
