I would strongly agree, having gone to look at it. This user does not answer ANY questions or comments about their behavior or actions, instead replacing the question with "<Comment deleted - General violation ("Negative criticism not tolerated")>" and the like, in red. They state: "If you are going to post a message on this page, it must be a positive comment. Any comments that I interpret as destructive will be disregarded and removed from this page. Thank you."
They also attempt to place conditions on the use of article history:
"n.b. All past revisions of this page are considered to be deleted, and may not be reviewed. To review past messages, see my archive subpages."
This is, IMO, completely ridiculous.
It's not ridiculous, though it is mildly amusing (in a rather sad way).
Actually, I'd say it is either suspicious or imitative. ISTR an incarnation of [[User:Lir]] doing this many moons ago.
What is Lir's current status, out of curiousity? (I don't pay attention to this editor's actions at all, so I'm not sure if Lir is banned, rehabilitated, or quietly making useful & valued contributions.) And if this is isn't one of Lir's identities, why would this user bother behaving in a manner that is at best annoying, & at worst self-destructively disfunctional?
