How long before this gets swarmed by people opposing a change like the WP:V one?

There is more than one reason to ban a user. One reason is that the user really is a vandal or disruptive type, in which case the chances of him sneaking back to make constructive edits are negligible. The other type is someone who lost a content dispute with the cabal and was banned for that reason. It is the latter case which is of interest to system gamers like Raul654. They want to make sure their enemies stay defeated. Whether this helps or harms the encyclopedia is irrelevant to them.

Exactly right.

Anyone who believes a good article should be deleted simply because the "wrong person" wrote it has truly lost their way, and is not focused on the best interests of the encyclopedia.
