I suspect that [[User:Palestine liberator]], [[User:Paektu]] and now [[User:JoeM]] are the same person, purely on the basis of edits. All three 'users' have notable similarities in style, and Paektu's and JoeM's user pages are strikingly alike in construction. All three strike me as provocative 'characture' users created to provoke people.
The views of all three are not merely extreme but ludicrously extreme. Paektu claimed to be a stalinist, yet his writings seemed clichéd and phoney, basically an act. Ditto with Palestine liberator who didn't seem concerned with promoting an NPOV analysis of the middle east and actually appeared to know surprisingly little about the topic for someone who pretended to know a lot, and seemed to me merely an exercise in screwing up pages and causing chaos for the fun of it. JoeM's stuff seemed equally extreme, nutty and phoney, as if trying to pick a fight. Their edits seem too suspiciously loopy and deliberately ludicrously provocative to be genuine.
I can't help wondering whether any banned user with a grudge isn't trying to get revenge. One particular banned user did after all come on some time ago posing as paedophile, even asking if he could download pictures of any children we had. (A real paedophile wouldn't have asked, just done so. That user wanted to let everyone /know/ what he was up to, as if trying to taint wiki with paedophilia, perhaps hoping it would damage us. These three 'characture' users seem in a similar vein.

<editorial>What the world needs to do is put all the people like this from both sides into a room and tell them that the outcome will depend on them fighting each other. But while they are in there distracted, the rest of us sane people can figure out solutions that are mutually acceptable and reasonable to all sensible parties.</editorial>

been reverted incessantly. It's just wasting people's time.
