IMO the fault was on plasmab's side only. EDIT: it's not my place to get into judging character.
I'm not saying a ban was the right course of action, but for all we know there was private correspondence prior to the ban and he started attacking the moderator. I was a mod on another forum for a while and certain personality types react *really* badly to being asked to cool it, when you'd think a grown adult would just apologise and suck it up. As ptyerman said, this was always going to happen sooner or later and the specific incident is almost irrelevant - he was a ticking time bomb.
