We get it. He's persistent. Trump was correctly deemed a credit risk by Deutsche Bank, so he kept trying to contact different divisions, found weak spots and someone gave him a foot in the door. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/09/721761041/why-deutsche-bank-loaned-donald-trump-billions-when-no-one-else-would
So, someone at Twitch was talked into lifting the ban. That doesn't need to be Twitch's final decision. There is a litany of examples of him being a bad actor outside of Twitch for which you can ban him from Twitch to protect your users and your reputation. You can realize that he is a narcissist who will use your platform to abuse people and ban him again. You can realize that he is a convicted felon and ban him again. You can realize that Twitch has no obligation to platform a con man and ban him again. You can realize that giving access to your users over to a ****** is a bad idea and ban him again. You can realize that the safety of your own employees is more important than the Twitch account for someone who called for the death of his Vice President and ban him again.
