editors with of social anarchist political leanings). As I noted on the evidence page, he has consistently edited many articles to push a certain POV (an anarcho-capitalist/right-wing libertarian POV) to the point of taking out verifiable sourced material. Such as deleting quotes from Tucker himself where Tucker refers to his philosophy as "socialism" or adds a footnote that the defintion of socialism has supposedly "changed" since Tucker's time to imply that Tucker didn't truly mean socialism when he said it (apparently because Victor Yarros and Wendy McElroy know what socialism is better than Tucker and know what Tucker meant better than Tucker himself). Lately he was obsessed with trying to keep out Tucker's support of anarchist socialism in late life (even though the quote is sourced and referenced) and only keep an obscure quote about "capitalism being at least tolerable" as if to imply that Tucker became an anarcho-capitalist later in life.

RJ were shown to be unreliable and misrepresented, VT continued to reinsert them in the article. VT continued for days to remove all the sources I added to the article under a number of different excuses, first claiming that they were original research, then insisting that they all be quoted, and finally, after finding what he believed to be an error in a single one of the sources I cited, he tagged all of them as unreliable and needing verification. This despite the fact that I provided a quote for the source upon request, which VT decided of his own accord was insufficient, and despite the fact that all of the sources added by banned user RJ remain without any such tag.

As can be seen from his talk page, when he first began wholesale reverting or deleting of my edits I attempted to discuss the issues with him, he never replied to those attempts.

Finally, I believe that VTs history as an edit warrior is clear from his own edit history. Even a brief look at the article he has edited will show consistent patterns of deleting any material that doesn't accord with his own political viewpoints despite numerous warnings for many different parties.

He has a tendency to aggressively edit and use the talk page as a war zone (in similar style to RJII and BillyEgo) and seems down and determined to keep individualist anarchism (evevn the explicitly anti-capitalist type such as Tucker's) from ever being linked with libertarian socialism. Many times

Vision Thing has been consistently edit-warring on articles related to politics, especially those related to anarchism and anarcho-capitalism, for over a year. His usual pattern of attacks is consistent reversion to undermine attempts by other editors to make contributions to the articles. (Eg.

I, Infinity0 and others have noted Vision Thing's blatant anarcho-capitalist POV-pushing on
