It's right here in the BADSITE:
http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=20784
Merkey says he's planning on suing the Wikimedia Foundation, the
individual members of ArbCom, and possibly other admins or editors.
Did he say a couple of months ago on this list that he was already
doing so? He made similar threats repeatedly, I don't think anyone has
received a summons yet.
He's claiming that he has some kind of agreement
(with the
Foundation? with Jimbo? it's unclear) that prevents anybody
connected with Wikipedia from banning him, so that his banning was a
contractual violation; he also claims that banning him from Wikipedia
was an act of stalking or harassment.
Is there the slightest bit of truth to his claims of the existence of
a "settlement agreement" between him and Wikimedia, or is this just
entirely a pile of manure?
If memory serves, I asked Jimbo on this list to explicitly say it was
all nonsense and he did so. That's good enough for me. (That might
have been over a different matter, I'll check the archives.)
