There is no indication he hadn’t learned his lesson (about mass downvotes).
Apart from the fact that there’s some (albeit weak; no one’s done the database-diving to get strong evidence either way) evidence that Azathoth123 has been engaging in mass-downvoting.
(In particular, I saw some weak evidence that he did it to me—though not on quite the scale that Eugine_Nier did before.)
Fair point, that would certainly change my assessment of the guy and the warranted mod action, albeit not of the public aspect of this. As Jiro mentioned up the comment chain, it certainly is a trade-off. Maybe noone would have put the clues together otherwise (or see their suspicions mirrored by others), and yours is important indeed.
I guess the whole “single someone out publicly in a negative way” is my personal ugh-field (who woulda thunk, right?), which may be why I seem to fall on the other side of the trade-off than apparently most other LW’ers.
