Doesn't appear to be obviously Awbrey.
But it's a sign to me of one of the things wrong with Wikipedia's culture now that rather than deal with the substantive issues raised in the page, the first reaction of at least one prominent Wikipedian is to assume it's a past banned user and reach for the "banhammer".
