Somewhere in between - the ruling was that "Original work which 
originates from Lyndon LaRouche and his movement may be removed from 
any Wikipedia article in which it appears other than the article Lyndon 
LaRouche and other closely related articles." and that "Supporters of 
Lyndon LaRouche are instructed not to add references to Lyndon directly 
to articles except where they are highly relevant, and not to engage in 
activities that might be perceived as "promotion" of Lyndon LaRouche."

So the ruling was not targeted at one specific user, but rather at the 
class of users who support LaRouche.
