Note that while this probably varies by location, it is not well
established. You are better off contacting Dan in private, not
forwarding the email.

The person in question is clearly subverting their ban, and is abusive
in private and public communication (bugs.php.net is absolutely
public). I think taking legal action is appropriate, as they haven't
stopped simply because they've been banned.
