Wikipedia. And he was posting links to his own website, which
contained appalling material, so it wasn't as though they couldn't see
what he was about.
The posts were /concerning/, but nothing that, by themselves, were
overtly problematic. I just assumed he was another crankpot, and "what
was known about him on Wikipedia" was not known about him on Wikipedia
Review.
In addition, Wikipedia Review has always been reluctant to ban users,
unlike Wikipedia. The decision to ban is not one that is taken lightly,
and involves discussion between the various staff of the forum to
determine that it is the best decision. (This may have changed since I
stepped down, but I presume it hasn't).
But feel free to paint the forum whichever colors you like.
