FYI, I have opened an ANI report on Radiant Fellow. You are welcome to comment there, but in your own best interest, given the continued disconnect you have with WP's internal culture, I would advise against it unless another editor specifically pings you in the discussion for comment. I could just leave it at that, but to address your concerns of "doing nothing", it must be noted that one simply cannot openly accuse someone of misconduct without evidence, and that evidence has to objectively apply to existing policy. This is one of the areas of disconnect I have been trying to get you to understand - we don't look at these subjectively and call something disruptive or inappropriate just because we don't like it or it "feels" that way. It is only so when held up to the existing standard of policy. Up until this week, that evidence was there (as you have noted), but it was very weak evidence, and primarily subjective. That's difficult to raise as an issue. However, his most recent stealth edit war and subsequent behaviors was adequate for reporting to ANI and it is far more egregious.

- I'm not sure why you insist on believing I need schooling in regard to Wikipedia culture. My eyes were opened a few years ago as I perused various noticeboards and saw the caste system and tribal workings for what they are. There's a lot of gnat straining before swallowing camels in this place, and it's usually due to favoring or targeting who will benefit an editor or administrator best for what their personal psychological needs of the moment are. The other user's behavior has not been a secret to you, per your conversations with Doug Weller in the past, and long before the user started messing with me. He's been a problem for at least a year. You knew it and chose to sit idly by, especially in the last couple of months. And now here we are. If he had been dealt with appropriately in a more timely manner, based on the behavioral evidence of slow edit warring, playing mind games with me, dishonesty in his edit summaries, being an SPA (not to mention you told me just a few weeks ago that you have always believed he was evading a block), then ANI probably wouldn't be happening today. He needed to be taken to the 3RR noticeboard a while ago and before ANI today. That action probably would have stopped him in his tracks for long enough to get the right message across. Your reason(s) for passive non-action up until now are your own and I'm not going to publicly state what I think they are. Instead, I'll just grab the popcorn and see how the drama plays out.
