I can totally identify with not wanting to ban people from a message board. It's no fun.
That said, in this situation I would ban Peter C, and invite Lee to come back. Lee has been an excellent contributor here and has many friends on the board. I suspect he was trying to make a point with his many posts this morning, as I mentioned in another post in one of Lee's threads.
Peter, on the other hand, adds nothing, and most of his threads become trainwrecks. You've asked him multiple times, in public and I'm sure in private, to knock it off. Even his inane questions are usually off-topic, and when they're not, it's usually an accident. After a while, it becomes the responsibility of the poster to learn the culture of a message board, and if they can't, they need to go - as much as it may pain the moderator.
