Your way of dealing with the situation is working perfectly. Don't worry.

As I've already told you, we can't stop the guy completely. What we can do, is stop the harm the is doing to the wiki. Manage the situation, instead of trying to cure it.

And we do that by reacting properly. The steps you are taking as an admin are the proper steps: If Edwin is doing anything to openly disrupt the wiki, we deal with it promptly. And if he is trying the more indirect approach, then it will only harm us if we let it. If a behavior doesn't seem malicious enough to warrant a block, then we can certainly ignore it, can't we?

In short: If we are strong enough as a community, Edwin's shinanigans won't even matter in the long run.

As for why Edwin has such a grudge towards me personally:

It started as a simple trolling tactic. He knew I was (back then) easily provoked. He also knew that I was the only person (back then) who realized the full extent of what he was doing.

So by attacking me, he got two birds in one stone: getting a nice juicy reaction, and neutralizing a person he deems a risk.

Trouble is, he quickly found out that getting rid of me isn't as easy as he thought. Month after month I remained a thorn in his side. So eventually, what started as a simple tactic turned into a deep grudging hatered. By now, it is so bad that he simply can't stop.

By the way, I don't hate him. I don't like him, naturally, but I realize that the guy simply can't help himself. He is simply a confused kid with huge emotional issues, and our wiki is simply the outlet he chose for these frustrations. So none of us should be taking this personally.

P.S.

He didn't start trolling the minute he joined, nor did he have any problem with me before he started trolling.
