A nit, it's not the minor actions of one or two people.. if we don't block tor exist all the technically competent high-speed vandals will just use tor. Because these vandals operate at fairly high speed playing whack-a-mole after they've acted just isn't effective. (especially with tor because it's quite possible to make every edit come from a different exit)
I'm a tor user, I run a fairly high traffic non-exit tor node, I've advocated that we do things to avoid harming tor users and folks who happen to share an IP with a tor exit.... but the claim that blocking tor exits isn't important to English Wikipedia (if not all the wikimedia wikis) is false.
