User:147.72.93.172/147.72.93.199 has for some time
been a troublesome presence on the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review article. He has made some valid
points, but they are lost amid a torrent of claims of
libel, legal threats, and general rudeness. Earlier
today he removed a large amount of material from
Talk:Pittsburgh Tribune-Review without archiving and
replaced it with the words "Edited to allow more
space." I reverted and asked him not to do it again
on his user talk page. He blanked the entire page
this time. I warned him against vandalism and
reverted. Another blank, another warning. I blocked
at the third blanking of the talk page.
Being involved in a content dispute with 147.72.93.*, in my opinion you
should not have blocked him but instead posted on Vandalism_in_progress
and let there be no question of conflict of interest or misuse of
privileges.
