Eh? Oliver's account existed well before Lir was banned. It seems
unlikely that Lir would have acquired an email account at a British
university. If you look at Oliver's list of edits, you'll find they're
perfectly sensible and restrained.
Why on earth would you think he is Lir?
Not to mention him joining the list and
"defending" himself.
I haven't seen him defending Lir (is that what you meant?). He's just
taking the same side which Lir did on the question of anglicised
article names, which is certainly an issue on which reasonable people
can differ.
