[unfortunately, that URL is long enough that it got wrapped and needs to be put back together]
Background: Somebody started a RFC on User:MONGO to complain about his uncivil behavior, including an edit summary that insulted an entire country by saying that anybody posting from there was "anti- American". This resulted in MONGO and a few of his good buddies getting a whole lot of laughs about how another nutcase was attacking MONGO again, and how they were probably a sockpuppet of a banned troll or something, and can't we find some excuse to ban him too? At one point, a special section was created in the RFC page for "vexatious litigation against MONGO", though this was soon reverted. In the end, the RFC was deleted as "frivolous", although it had received the required two endorsements. Once again, we see the clique protecting its own, and making personal attacks with impunity when they're against people who dare to criticize a clique member.
Some comments from that thread:
"Yet another frivolous RfC on MONGO: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/MONGO 3, this time by an obvious sockpuppet." -- Bishonen
"Which ED sock is it this week, one wonders?" -- Corvus cornix
"Another brand new account that finds its way to ANI and jumps straight in to a dispute about MONGO. Yawn!" -- ElinorD
So, who is it that said that we're not a "drama site"?

Yes, when I read that thread I was disgusted and ashamed. Anyone else using that kind of hate speech against an entire country would be blocked, or at least severely warned.
