Ooooo-kayyyyy... I just marked "James zon" as a spammer because we don't have the ability to mark them as horridly-confused.
They made three posts - one perpetuating the "Krypto the runt" hoax, the other two refuting it, all three mentioning the same (permabanned from Miraheze) person as responsible for the work. Obviously these were not made by an individual person... unless that person simply wants attention. They could be made by multiple people sharing the same account, or an AI posting what it "thinks" we want to hear.
Regarding this particular issue that simply won't die: I propose that, at this point, we treat all posts about the hoax or the hoaxer as spam from ban-evaders, reject them without comment, and mark the posters as spammers unless they've previously posted something on-topic.
