  Gator issued blocks on a wide range of IP's thatwere violating 3RR and using the numerous IP's to evade a block. He was threatened that his life would be made miserable and the same vandal also demanded to know where Gator worked and what his lawyers license was as Gator is an attorney. Gator had blocked numerous accounts on 3/28/06

  all related to this incident. His payback for doing his job was to have his employers contacted and his privacy invaded. Gator also recieved an email from another Wikipedian that had run afoul of this vandal that also had their personal information posted in talk pages. This other Wikipedian was considering leaving the project and apparently told Gator in email that he knew who this vandal was. Apparently, the information provided to Gator stated (I was forwarded the email) that the vandal had a long history in Usenet circles for pushing the same POV in the same areas of interest, had invaded other's privacy and even filed lawsuits just to stir up trouble. The vandal is in Luxembourg and may post from work but more likely from somewhere else.
