Going to admit I'm sympathetic to LK on this, though I do agree he did grind in the glass to John to the point I'm not surprised it ended this way.
I think the global ban was using a nuclear weapon to kill a fly, and while I agree if LK is allowed back he'd have to lose his admin flag as part of the exchange for a period that is currently indeterminate.
Since I admit my judgment is bit clouded, I would like to recuse myself from any decisions on how we handle this loggerhead we have hit with Miraheze and LK's expulsion under circumstances we generally agree are overkill. I will go along with any decisions the community makes of course, but I'm not going to advocate anything myself.
In the meantime, I have asked LK to help out at the Wikia fork because I could always use the help there, but I would like to see him back on our main branch in some way sooner or later.
