I couldn't vote on this one. On the surface, I do feel someone who dishes out banter at others' expenses should have a thick enough skin to take the returns--should even expect it. Otherwise, they strike me as a hypocrite. But I can understand that some topics might be off limits, and good friends ought to know this. I don't know your group's dynamics, though. Maybe give the guy his space to see if he wants to rejoin the group.
Two things I've learned in 19 years of life are that (a) people are fickle, and (b) people will ultimately do whatever they want, if they can, so there's no point in trying to get someone to do something he/she doesn't really want to.
