I read all the diffs and more. The main problem here is not Damolisher's incivility although that is a severe complicating factor. Instead, the really big problem is that this editor aggressively disregards Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and has nothing but contempt for them.

This editor repeatedly dismisses Wikipedia's policies and guidelines as "technical jargon" and "pointless rigmarole". Evidence of Damolisher's contempt for policies and guidelines is "Ask anyone who edits these articles and they don't have the foggiest as to what the hell "WP BLEH BLEH" is." Another example is "Y'know, just a word of wisdom, citing "WP" articles doesn't *actually* have any effect on me." A third example is "Don't give me that "DA ROOLS THO" BS either." I see no evidence that this editor has ever read or tried to understand the policies and guidelines that they reject out of hand. Those are the very policies and guidelines that have made Wikipedia the #5 website in the world, so this editor's refusal to engage with them is both mystifying and unacceptable.

When Damolisher encounters other editors who try to explain the importance of our policies and guidelines, this editor calls them "bureaucrats", "bullies", "obnoxious" and  "passive-aggressive". This editor accuses them of "hairsplitting", "harassment", "arrogance", "wasting my time", "one-upsmanship", "bloody gall", and "being obstinate". Evidence of Damolisher's contempt for editors who attempt to convince them to comply with policies and guidelines is "So, ya gonna send that memo to your pompous little friend who won't stop trying to bully people into her stupid hairsplitting and then telling tales when they're wrong?"

An editor who engages in mild incivility in defense of our policies and guidelines can be excused with a request to continue their work in a more civil fashion. An editor who is consistently uncivil in the process of battling against and undermining our policies and guidelines is an entirely different matter. Accordingly, I have indefinitely blocked Damolisher, while noting that "indefinite" does not mean "forever". In order to be unblocked, Damolisher must read and understand our policies and guidelines, and make a firm commitment to comply with them 100% in the future, and to take the path of collaboration rather than contempt toward their fellow editors.
