And it's a good thing the real-life authorities (not the Wikipedia
authorities) got involved, since they actually have the ability to
stop real-life stalking (like by jailing the stalker), something that
Wikipedia is completely powerless to do. Banning him from the site,
while justified based on his actions, is pretty much useless for
stopping his off-wiki activity.
