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.
He has long claimed nearly everything someone posts to the article or the talk page is libelous in some form or another. I am surprised to learn from the headers of the email David Gerard forwarded that apparently the anon is Carl Prine, an award winning PTR reporter. One would think a reporter wouldn't throw around accusations of libel so casually. In any case, much of the material is standard talk page arguing, and the material removed includes a lengthy polite attempt by User:KeithTyler to reason with Prine, something that I can't imagine any reasonable person objecting to.
