He just can't seem to quit being a giant, throbbing {expletive deleted}.

Perhaps, but somebody has to argue that position or it would just be an echo chamber in there, right? Assuming you're against filtering, wouldn't you rather the person be him, given his general unpopularity?

Also, are you referring to the whole page, or the argument with 178.201.100.215 in particular? It looks like you're referring to the whole page.

I actually think Ottava makes some fairly sensible points there. Just because you'll never get him to admit there's a slippery slope involved, doesn't mean he's completely wrong about everything else, does it? Unless it's his persistence alone that's bothersome... but y'know, it's Wikipedia, so you'll have that.

Ottava's unique gift is to take an otherwise sensible position, blend it with a few hyperbolisms and paranoid rants, then spit it out in a way that makes the otherwise sensible position look at least as crazy as the otherwise nonsensical position he's arguing against.
