Spam links were being added by anonymous user or spambot with dymanic IP address that changed between edits in an attempt to avoid blocks and/or inhibit detection by viewing user contribution logs. As a result of my removal of his linkspam, the spammer resorted to petty vandalism of my user pages without any direct attempt at communication.
