(Mostly to) Parker Peters --
The suggestion that a de-sysopping or request for arbitration ought to occur is excessive. I fail to see anything wrong with what Luna and Samuel did. Luna has, at the very least, presented evidence to support her position in a polite manner. From you, however, most of what I see amounts to /see... there's an admin cabal; I know there is/. It's one thing to disagree with someone, but it's another thing to be so dogmatic in your opinion that you believe the opposition is part of some conspiracy. Unfortunate is the fact that you've resorted to that stance.

Perhaps that is the problem, your willingness to jump at shadows and underlying hostility to anyone who doesn't genuflect "just so" towards you.
While I do value your opinions, I will be frank on this count: I don't trust you to be neutral.
I openly challenge you to take a dig through my postings to this mailing list, and back up your claims of my behavior and attitudes. Go for it. If you can find evidence that I've been serially abusing the few powers and positions of trust the community has seen fit to grant me, by all means, bring it to my attention. I have no qualms with specific and reasonable complaints grounded in fact.
In this case, I'm not the only user who suspects block evasion. One IP address is blocked for trolling and general disruption, a second IP address comes onto the scene and begins making the exact same reverts -- hardly a stretch of the imagination, here.
Again, as you seem to be concerned by what's happened. I have no objection if you desire to pursue this on your own.

Luna,
I'll be frank with you as well: I approach things a bit different from the way you do.
It seems obvious to me that you approach things assuming the administrator is right. I approach things with an open mind and analyze the data first, then see what I can see from there. The majority of the time, I'lll admit that the administrator is right.
This, however, is plainly not one of those times. Instead, this seems to be an attempt to control the content of a page by one small group of users who happen to have an administrator or two to help them out, and it is the use of administrator powers to gain a leg up in a content dispute that I primarily have a problem with.
I have a second problem with the abuse by these administrators in removing the complainant's complaints from other pages, which is in effect trying to hide what they are doing from the community at large.
