129.186.80.133 popped onto Recent Changes. This IP is almost identical

the one Lir was using when he was banned (just swap-out the last digit for
a

an
article that this IP was working on and then Lir posted a message to
Wikipedia-L asking for some linking criteria. This IP then asked Clutch
about
linking.
Don't trust Clutch. He keeps vandalizing the User:Lir page. Take a look at
its history.
I also encourage everyone to look at the history of the User:Lir page. I
believe it will show the opposite; what was done to that page is not
vandalism, but a service to the Wikipedia community. To quote the
comment accompanying the last edit done to that page:
Lir used this page as a means of pissing others off. Leaving it
intact to fulfill that function is a wrong application of Wikipedias
rules about not editing others User pages
The User:Lir page should be protected (in the last
revision edited by Lir)
until Lir, if ever, is unbanned.
I agree with the reason quoted above, and so I request that the User:Lir
NOT be protected, and I request that those who keep reverting the page
to Lirs childish work stop doing so.
And no, vandalism is not too strong a word for what
Clutch has been doing.
I and others agree that it is far too strong a word to describe Clutches
efforts to work in good faith on the Wikipedia.
