I've decided to recuse as a clerk in this one,

this: this case is about userboxes.
I had a quick look at it, and to me it would seem to be more a case about
admins revert-warring using rollback; userboxes are just the backdrop.
More specifically, it is about the extremely
destructive but widely
denied effects on our community of the creation in template space of
very large numbers of templates that have as their sole purpose the
viral propagation of political opinions and the linking together of
Wikipedians according to those opinions.
From the incidents that I hear about, much more
destructive would seem to be
the way people (both pro and anti) care so much about
userboxes that they'll
act in daft ways to defend their positions. I'm not at all convinced that the
use of userboxes as POV rallying tools is anywhere near as problematic as this.
