I need to look at how the Wikibooks community finally got rid of him.
The
delinking of the account from the global one to create the possibility of an unblock, allowance of talk page access for self-defense, and respect for community consensus in the two unblock attempts could have come as a shock if nobody had chosen to be confrontational before.
There were only two bureaucrats/checkusers at the time and there was a pre-retirement resignation of CU rights to, as some have suggested, have them
removed from the other bureaucrat as a form of retaliation. But someone had to stand up for the principle of the matter. Similar situations likely occurred at other wikis.
