Somewhere in between - the ruling was that "Original work which originates from Lyndon LaRouche and his movement may be removed from any Wikipedia article in which it appears other than the article Lyndon LaRouche and other closely related articles." and that "Supporters of Lyndon LaRouche are instructed not to add references to Lyndon directly to articles except where they are highly relevant, and not to engage in activities that might be perceived as "promotion" of Lyndon LaRouche."
So the ruling was not targeted at one specific user, but rather at the class of users who support LaRouche.

I don't think the small but hardcore following necessarily makes their views encyclopedic - consider the case of Lyndon LaRouche, which the arbcom has ruled ought not be mentioned in articles that do not directly pertain to LaRouche. So I would still lean towards this not being encyclopedic.
Has the ArbCom actually ruled that LaRouche ought not to be mentioned in articles that do not directly pertain to LaRouche? Or is it more accurate to say that one particular user with a history of problems was instructed not to do that? It's an important distinction, because it is not for the ArbCom to make broad rulings on matters of content alone.
