Perhaps this was answered elsewhere in the thread - what is the actual
injury here you would like ArbCom to redress? The disclosure of your IP
information to a checkuser? Shouldn't it be assumed by all regular users,
including administrators, that IP information submitted voluntarily to the
Wikimedia Foundation (by editing) is available under the tenets of the
checkuser policy? That policy allows checkusers some discretion on whether a
check is justified or not (appropriately), but prohibits the release of
private information. Was any private information released by Lar? If so, I
haven't seen it mentioned.
