I have unblocked Eloquence on the English Wikipedia. Blocking him was clearly inappropriate. Blocking him indefinitely was astoundingly stupid. Desysopping is equally insane, but resysopping him can wait for the wheels to grind.
Oi!
Before this gets any uglier could everyone agree to stop making nasty comments and pointing fingers?
One 'bad action' (if it was such) should not merit an indefinite block and de-sysoping without discussion.
One 'unwarranted de-sysoping and block' (if it was such) should not merit insults about "stupid" and "insane".
Somewhere along the line tempers frayed and questionable action or actions were taken. Making more snap judgements and nasty comments can only cause the situation to get worse.
I'd like to hear from 'the office' / 'board' / 'Jimbo' / 'Danny' / whoever what the rationale behind the initial block / de-sysoping was.
