[WikiEN-l] RE: Demonstrable Abuse of Admin powers

I certainly believe those comments to be more than mere braggadocio. I think it's plainly obvious to you what is going on, and your involvement is not something that can be ruled out just because you say so. However, I do believe Jtdirl may have unintentionally jumped the gun. On the face of it, I suspect that because Jtdirl joined the discussion after the obvious sock puppetry of one "Kangaroopedia", he mistook both Kangaroopedia and Pwqn to be incontestable sock puppets, not knowing of Pwqn's history. I don't believe Pwqn is a sock puppet. Nevertheless, I do find it entirely strange that s/he would just, completely out-of-the-blue, and in contrast to prior edits, edit an obscure topic on Australian government and rehash the same flawed understanding as Skyring. We can all draw conclusions, but I don't suppose there is anyway prove such duplicity. It is good that Pwqn has been unblocked, and s/he does deserve an apology of sorts from Jtdirl. Skyring doesn't. I encourage everyone to recognise the emotiveness of this seemingly irrelevant issue. The harassment Jtdirl was subjected to should be considered, and he ought to be given a little bit of leeway. If Pwqn and Kangaroopedia are in some way linked to Skyring, then his actions would be perfectly justifiable. As it is, such a link may not exist or may and not be proven. But let's be clear, there was no abusiveness here and it is bad faith to assume bad faith. Cyberjunkie
