Despite being banned from Wikipedia (and computers generally) by court order, notorious pedophilia editor Herostratus (T-C-L-K-R-D) is still able to edit WP.

How? By getting his court-appointed minder to edit for him, apparently.

Check his edit log for proof. He's doing it, even while being banned from watching TV or listening to the radio. Mentioned here.

Why is his account still active?

Gotta love that traditional American lynch-mob mentality.

Gotta put an end to that millennia-old activity of adults working collaboratively with kids, especially the ones being accused with bugger all proper evidence, you know, the sort of evidence that doesn't rely on synthesis, supposition and rumour.

No, that's WebHamster (T-C-L-K-R-D) , who in my experience has generally been one of the saner voices on Wikipedia (he was booted off for failing to show due deference to Chillum, not for any POV pushing or the like).

Failing to show due deference to Chilum can hardly be considered sane, at least not if you don't want to be shown the door at wikipedia. It's no wonder that so many administrators are voting against the CDA proposal, including Chillum, as they know they'd have to watch their step if something like it was ever put in place. As for WebHamster, it's a crying shame that he was chased away by the civility poilice, who apparently fall over in a swoon every time they're told to "fuck off".

Got himself banned for persistently trying to insert info about a stupid rumor that Richard Gere stuffed a gerbil up his ass? Doesn't sound that sane to me. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif)

I think you may be misunderstanding. Either that or you're terminally stupid.

Seems about right to me after reading the discussion linked on his userpage.

And FYI, not only is that myth completely unsubstantiated, but it was stated about several other celebrities at around the same time that it was stated about Richard Gere. This is supposed to be Wikipedia, not the National Enquirer. And if this guy seriously got himself blocked over something this asinine then he doesn't have much sympathy here.
