Nobs was banned for personal attacks, not for his right wing political views. There are political blocks operating on Wikipedia, Nobs and his co-defendants were not such a block, nor could one say that I, Cberlet and Ruy Lopez are a block in that sense despite sharing certain perspectives. Sometimes there is more than meets the eye. Real problems will not be solved by imagining phantasms.

I have concern about people massing together in groups based on political affiliations at Wikipedia.

This is exactly what was alleged in the case of Nobs01 and orthers acting in concert; Mr. Bauder stated four times there was no grounds to allege political affiliations inspired the actions of respondents, yet no finding of fact was ever made. It was a blatant abuse of prescribed dispute resolution processes by tarring five users with guilt by political association smears -- and worked very effectively to obscure evidence. And the clique that engineered this purge and show trial has a free license to continue the same against whoever their imagined enemies are.
