In the end, A got a long-term block -
not for POV
editing, not for doing original research, not for
misrepresenting his
sources - he could have gone on with all those without
strong
consequences. But he made the mistake of making repeated
personal
attacks on his opponents.
That's precisely the problem. Being able to remove the right to edit BLPs
from a user, irrespective of whether they have been uncivil etc., just
based on the nature of their edits, is the only thing that will solve it.
Knowing that this is a potential outcome will also, surely, lead to better
and more careful BLP editing than we have today.
