It seems personal to you, starting with [[gun politics]]. He was apparently there trying to create a simpler restatement of the issues that read a bit easier, at the cost of leaving out some information. A worthy goal, but rather annoying. Your response, to leave both the wordy list and his new elegant list in, and the remark, "are you happy now?", seem a bit snappy as applied to someone who had never edited an article before. I would say this contributor got off on the wrong foot and things have progressed downhill from there. Perhaps not focusing on him would do more good than "watching" him.
Contributions like:
It is duplicitious to claim neutrality on this issue, for to even consider competing viewpoints is to grant them a credibility that they do not deserve.
don't constitute "worthy but misguided" to my mind...
