There are two reasons for the blanket reversion. One is to
save a lot of effort on all our parts. That includes you. It seems
clear that fact-checking any of this person's claims takes an
enormous amount of work. If something he posts prompts you
to do research and write about it, great, but actually fact-checking
all that nonsense is not a good use of your time.
The second is that automatic reversion discourages his destructive
behavior. For this reason, I *strongly* urge you not to un-revert. (I
haven't checked the list archive to see how strongly the auto-reversion
is agreed policy, so I am urging, not demanding.)
