It looks like he's trying to clean up some natter and Thread Mode (stuff he deleted seems more flamey than we prefer), but he really should leave edit reasons for deletions.

I'll send a PM.

I took my hands off the page, but the edit war still seems to be going on. Edit reason or not, this editor seems to be deleting things that most people agree are true. Usually the right course of action is to add the minority opinion (NOT in a new bullet point, NOT in an "however" clause) rather than just deleting the item.

Sent a PM and took the example to discussion. Hoepfully this will work.
