I see beautyfulman is reported as being last here on Jan 24, 2022 - about two weeks after most of his deleted content was successfully restored.

Looks like he went to the bother of deleting almost all of his node contents again (not the node titles this time) because all his content from Anyone with XS experience willing to create a high performance data type for Perl? and many replies is now missing. If you're able to restore the deleted content again, it would seem to be necessary to block this account, to prevent repeat acts of vandalism.
