[edit] Spinoza1111

  • Supporting evidence:
User Spinoza1111 has been banned indefinitely for disruptive conduct: [1][2]
He has self-identified as Edward Nilges and has been using anonymous IPs to get around his block: [3][4][5]

After the editors started ignoring Edward per WP:Troll, Edward left and the "new user" Lilith2396 appeared. This user's very first edit [6] was on the Ayn Rand talk page, which is the exact page that Edward was editing before he left. Moreover, Lilith appears to personally know Edward and the two use identical writing styles.[7][8][9] Idag (talk) 22:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

In actuality, he's been a target of systematic persecution that started on the Kant article with vandalism of his bold contributions by amerindianarts, and this labeling has been following him around. Every time he contributes someone "refutes" him by pointing to his "record", and he fights back, usually by means of carpet-bombing.
I may write like him, perhaps because literate styles converge and like him I'm angry at the treatment of contributors on wikipedia.
You're also wrong on two more counts. The editors talked a good game about "ignoring" him: this is the usual infantile promise made and as soon broken on the Internet by you deviants: you seldom keep it and it was not kept here. Instead, Edward said, in boldface, "I've had it" and then left.
As to being a troll, trolls don't mean what they say: he is filled with "passionate intensity". Trolls are anonymous: he risks his reputation on behalf of himself and of others.
Most recently, he contributed a thoughtful write-up on "extended" precision only to be told civilly by an editor that there was an article on "arbitrary precision" where his contribution would fit better.
Because that editor was civil, Edward removed the content without further ado.
He's not going to like it, given his hatred of Ayn Rand, but to me he is John Galt, the lowly anonymous Producer.
This is no troll.
Who is John Galt?
Judging by the above response, Lilith also appears to be intimately familiar with Edward's edit history. Idag (talk) 21:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
