The user reverts only my edits (as "unnecessary dumbing down"). Here are some of their reverts:

• "almost" -> "all but" [1]
• "ease" -> "assuage",   "courage" -> "fortitude [2]
• "bad" -> "desultory" [3]
• "of them" -> "thereof" [4]
• "limited" -> "hamstrung" [5]
• "instead of" -> "in lieu of" [6]

This is definitely the guy. I've added the IP he has used to revert the OP, as it's obviously all part of the same sad pattern.

Thanks, but that vandal has at least 11 years of experience and will keep reverting my copy edits forever. So I am considering to quit Wikipedia. By the way, what do you mean by OP? 85.193.215.210 (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep reporting him here, and admins will keep blocking him and reverting him. Don't let this ridiculous person stop you editing. OP means "original poster" – in this case, that's you :) Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:01, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

People like you keep me alive. Thank you so much :-) 85.193.215.210 (talk) 01:14, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any time, my friend :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bretonbanquet What you wrote was more important to me than the fact that the vandal is active again. Thank you :-) 85.193.215.210 (talk) 13:55, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's awesome to hear! My pleasure :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bretonbanquet Somebody (probably the vandal in question) accused us of mutual brown-nosing. Well, I expressed my real emotions and do not regret anything I wrote. Best. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 23:52, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it removes any doubt that he reads this page, at least. Other than that, his input is not worth our consideration. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:12, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The vandal keeps reverting all of my edits but now calls me an 'immature troll' because I used their own absurd edit explanation: Don't change meanings that you don't understand.. Of course, they do understand the meaning of "almost", but I do understand the meaning of "all but". What a double standard. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 13:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this guy sets out to upset people, and belittle them, breaking every rule in the book. Don't let anything he says get to you, just keep editing. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This vandal is also a gaslighter and wants me to believe that I am an incompetent troll. As a non-native English speaker, I do suffer from impostor syndrome, at least to some extent, even without gaslighting. But accusing me of trolling is insulting. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 12:47, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to read WP:DNFT. And WP:BEANS too. BilCat (talk) 19:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BilCat I may well be a native English speaker, living in Poland, who feels compassion for non-native speakers and promotes readability and plain language. But even if I had a PhD in English at the University of Oxford and provided a reliable proof, the vandal would still accuse me of language incompetency, and do it even more passionately.

PS. Thank you for the links, but the essays here are not written in plain language, just the opposite. The New York Times is much easier to read. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 15:46, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Try this then. BilCat (talk) 15:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The vandal keeps reverting, but he cannot revert my edits because I stopped editing. I does not make any sense to me. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 16:13, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Though I no longer change less common words to more readable synonyms, the vandal keeps attacking me even on article talk pages, for example here you can read that I am 'not welcome here' and should move to Simple English Wikipedia, and that I am incompetent in English and maybe in general - who knows ;-) And here is his contribution to the talk about English grammar. 85.193.215.210 (talk) 19:09, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any proof all those IPs and accounts are actually the same person? 2A02:8108:2C3F:AC2C:6C0B:27A0:8A85:BDB7 (talk) 07:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
