Anyone unconvinced that Wikipedia is run on a

pin something on SevenOfDiamonds, as seen in its latest stage here:

rbitration_enforcement
Having tried and failed multiple times to get SevenOfDiamonds labeled
as one or another of various banned users of the past, he had yet
another try here, still failing to prove his point even though he had
the support and sympathy of various admins.
The great irony in all of this is that MONGO and his friends love to
attack and ridicule everybody who keeps trying to bring actions
against MONGO; the fact that almost all of them have failed (except
for the one that led to his desysopping) is given as evidence that
they're all frivolous and laughable, and that the people who bring
them should be sanctioned for harassment.
By those standards, MONGO is certainly guilty of harrassment for his
repeated unsuccessful attempts to bring action against this user.
As a person with no stake in this case whatsoever, I do think the
evidence is pretty convincing. It's not water-tight, but it is
certainly enough to warrant suspicion.
Again, I don't care either way about who's right. I'm just saying that
to me, SevenOfDiamonds and this Nuclear-guy look very much like the
same user.
