The IP in question on Editor survey feedback is w:User:Sven70, who has been indeffed there for becoming increasingly incivil. He apparently writes in the shorthand he uses due to RSI.

Hi, Sonia! Thanks for your information. I didn't know about the RSI issue, but I could partially comprehend what was written. I was more concerned about the offensive part of his comments, which is not related with the way he writes and is unnacceptable on a respectful discussion. Anyway, I won't call it "gibberish" anymore. Have a nice day.

Yep, hence it was just an FYI and not a "Why are you being bigoted against the disabled!!!1111" ;)

And I do agree. That is exactly why he was blocked, because he was not able to rationally converse with other editors and thus exhausted the last of their patience. For what it's worth, I have RSI (although it is not debilitating), and see no reason for such shorthand to be necessary or more effective than your standard "txt talk" or whatever shorthand it is the young'uns use these days.
