LOL Yup, I saw that :)

Better still, despite being IP banned from game politics, he managed to change his ISP just so that he could continue to post there.

Can you say 'Internet Stalker'?

Too late, he's a royal joke as far as the internet is concerned, i bet he constantly runs his name through google to see what pops up.
he's the ultimate real-life counterpart to the old addage "he who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones" the internet is one big glasshouse, with shards that will seek you out, and cut you.  :p

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Why would Diesel Sweeties be suing Wikipedia?

I was expecting it to be the Scientologists.

Surely an organization like Wikimedia has more than enough resources to fight the moron. Why did they concede to his demands? He's made much worse ones to smaller sites, which have called his bluff before.

It's back. They've completely nutured the article, removed any references to his rants whatsoever. So much for the Wikipedia being accurate and unbiased :/
