I suspect that [[User:Palestine liberator]], [[User:Paektu]] and now
[[User:JoeM]] are the same person, purely on the basis of edits. All three
'users' have notable similarities in style, and Paektu's and JoeM's user
pages are strikingly alike in construction. All three strike me as
provocative 'characture' users created to provoke people.
The views of all three are not merely extreme but ludicrously extreme.
Paektu claimed to be a stalinist, yet his writings seemed clichéd and
phoney, basically an act. Ditto with Palestine liberator who didn't seem
concerned with promoting an NPOV analysis of the middle east and actually
appeared to know surprisingly little about the topic for someone who
pretended to know a lot, and seemed to me merely an exercise in screwing up
pages and causing chaos for the fun of it. JoeM's stuff seemed equally
extreme, nutty and phoney, as if trying to pick a fight. Their edits seem
too suspiciously loopy and deliberately ludicrously provocative to be
genuine.
I can't help wondering whether any banned user with a grudge isn't trying to
get revenge. One particular banned user did after all come on some time ago
posing as paedophile, even asking if he could download pictures of any
children we had. (A real paedophile wouldn't have asked, just done so. That
user wanted to let everyone /know/ what he was up to, as if trying to taint
wiki with paedophilia, perhaps hoping it would damage us. These three
'characture' users seem in a similar vein.

This sounds like an only 10% milder counterpart to the Palestinian
activist from last week. Well, if he keeps it up, I approve that we
should put him on auto-revert unless and until he gets the message.

from both sides into a room and tell them that the outcome will depend
on them fighting each other. But while they are in there distracted,
the rest of us sane people can figure out solutions that are mutually
