One assumes that the other party has come out of this with no sysop bit, no credibility, and no chance of getting onto Arbcom. But they've also had *other* sanctions applied to them, because we determined they didn't have those to lose.
Here's the problem.
Durova's actions stopped the editing of one editor for 75 minutes, and ended with an apology.
Giano's actions fuelled the flames of drama, made a humiliating experience into a bloodbath for Durova, were wounding and bruising, violated privacy, and Giano has made *no apology whatsoever*.
Durova has been co-operative with the Committee in its deliberations,Giano has been obstructive. And Giano is *normally* rude and obstructive. I can see why the Committee might feel this was a behaviour pattern that might need addressing, especially since it has been the case for a very long time.
