The signed the statement of Dispute and then notified me.  They shouldn't be changing it underneath my responses.  Yes, I could quote them, because they might delete from underneath me, but what is an RfC/user doing lacking even the basic integrity of a talk page.  You were right the first time.  It is a blockable offense.   But I wanted you to know that some of the community seems to think nothing of this behavior.
