It's either block him now or block him later. He's not interested in NPOV or building an encyclopedia or anything else we value. He's a Nazi and all he wants to do is fight the Jews. Perhaps his edits look fine now, but there's always the chance he is engaging in or will engage in a less obvious form of racist vandalism by subtly skewing articles. Whatever it is, it will happen and it will escalate. On SF they are quite openly talking about ways to infiltrate Wikipedia so they can skew the content the way they want it skewed. That should be enough to ban them on sight here.

He was blocked for being a Nazi?
I've looked at his edits (briefly) and can't see
anything that he's
actually done wrong.

Oh here we go. This is his stormfront post http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=225536
"A cabal of Jews and their liberal-gentile "useful idiots" are trying to take over Wikipedia" "The gang of kikes at Wikipedia managed to knock the site Jew Watch off the top of the Google search results page last year" "Don't let these vampire rodents pull one more media outlet from out of our hands."
If he said that on Wikipedia I'd definately block him for it. As it is he said it off Wikipedia. I'm not comfotable about blocking someone under those circumstances.

We could ban him then. Is there any particular hurry? Why don't we wait until he does something wrong and then ban him?
(Note that I'm playing devils advocate here. I'm not concerned enough to go and unblock him)

His edits consisted of POV and personal attacks. Why wait for him to do even more damage?

These are the contributions of the user in question:

Though the person clearly has issues with you, Jay, I see nothing which I would call a personal attack. He's certainly pushed a particular POV but that's not grounds for an immediate permanent ban. I didn't see anyone rushing to ban User:Rmstallman. At least User:Amalekite refrained from editing his own entry.
