You are quoting Clutches edit comments out of context; ignoring the edits that Lir made that triggered them. Lir was determined to show that he didn't give a damn about community standards, or trying to build quality articles. That is why Lir is banned.
As for the comment about Lir's fate being decided, that comment was made because just then Jimbos had sent out a mail to the mailing list saying he was going to ban Lir. Yet Lir's behavior that was causing Clutch to edit his page didn't cease; he continued it. He didn't believe anything could happen to him because "this is anarchy, and that means anything goes".
This is when other Wikipedians started reverting your changes. Lir repeatedly *removed* your link to the good taste article and only left it in because you kept vandalizing her page and threatened to continue to do so. And yes,
That is your perception. It is wrong. He thought he saw a humorous way to incorporate it into his webpage, and he did so. Lirs humor is often inappropriate and designed to enrage people, but it is pretty funny. As long as you persist in thinking of Lir as a poor, defenseless little girl who didn't have any idea what she was doing, you aren't going to understand Lir.
You're falling back into your old trolling behavior, Jon. The sad thing is that you got away with it for too long, because nobody likes to stick up for Lir.
You never knew my old trolling behavior. The Wikipedia is something I care about. Your defense of Lir's edits makes me wonder how much you care about it.
