He and Judd Bagley were kicked off Wikipedia (and keep being kicked off Wikipedia) for massive sockpuppeting, harassment and stalking.

--------------------- You mistake my slant. I don't consider the content an "excuse" for his conduct. I do however consider content which is dramatically negative, and which content is being held in place by an insider with a particular chip-on-his-own-shoulder (COI), but who gradually works his way up to a trusted position -- to be not really good news for our project.

Fellow editors could not necessarily know that Mantanmoreland had undeclared issues, and I'm not necessarily casting aspirtions on any one else here or there. I'm certainly pleased that Mantanmoreland is gone, at least apparently. It seems to me however, that the situation went on quite a bit too long.

In the meantime, certain high-placed people should not be known to add fuel to the fire by calling anyone insane. Which is probably why it took this long, to get here.
