"Developments in the Alkivar case also precipitated [[Wikipedia:Requests for
arbitration/Eyrian]], which arbitrators began voting to accept two hours
before Jonas created his sock account, in which a second administrator was
not only desysopped but also sitebanned for disruptive socking."
She lost me about there. It looks to me like she believes in meat puppets.
Maybe that sentence is a dangling participle of some kind. An administrator
was desysopped and sitebanned (got a service provider blocked), because
Jonas created a puppet...not too likely. Then she talks about Eyrian, and I
can't tell if or how she knows that Eyrian and Jonas are the same.
In a previous message, she seems to be claiming that Saboto215 is also a
sock puppet. I'm lost, because I don't know how to do checkuser queries with
e-mail, and the contributions she pointed at tell me nearly nothing.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] What exactly is Durova saying here?
I recently sent an unblock request to Tiptoety, asking
him to post it on
the
Admins' Noticeboard, as he said he would on IRC. Durova made a comment on
it, and then she wrote a long-winded addendum to it that I really didn't
get
the point of, and am unsure of how to respond to. It seems to me that she
wasn't accusing me of anything, as I could make out no clear accusation,
but
why did she write all of that? For nothing? I don't think that she was
accusing me of being JB196, because if she read the long term abuse page
on
him, she would see that his real name is Jonathan Barber, and that he is a
wrestling commentator who promotes himself. Then again, she's accused me
of
not being as young as I say I am, and she may think that I am a made-up
person. A Yahoo! search on my name can disprove this. Any connection
between
me and JB196 is purely coincidental. I have never even communicated with
Alkivar and Eyrian (who have been accused of editing for JB196), let alone
JB196, and I surely didn't "proxy" for him.
I don't know what to say in response to her speech, except that I cannot
understand a word of it.
