There's nothing wrong with what Luna did, save that I think she's using
things unrelated to a user to justify inaction in this case.
Samuel on the other hand? Let's see: removal of a complaint from Admins
Noticeboard, deliberate reversion in a case where he was the blocker, and
what appears to be a highly bad-faith block.

The suggestion that a de-sysopping or request for arbitration ought to
occur is excessive. I fail to see anything wrong with what Luna and
Samuel did. Luna has, at the very least, presented evidence to support
her position in a polite manner. From you, however, most of what I see
amounts to /see... there's an admin cabal; I know there is/. It's one
thing to disagree with someone, but it's another thing to be so dogmatic
in your opinion that you believe the opposition is part of some
conspiracy. Unfortunate is the fact that you've resorted to that stance.

Luna,
I'll be frank with you as well: I approach things a bit different from
the
way you do.
It seems obvious to me that you approach things assuming the
administrator
is right. I approach things with an open mind and
analyze the data
first,
then see what I can see from there. The majority
of the time, I'lll
admit
that the administrator is right.
This, however, is plainly not one of those times. Instead, this seems to
be
an attempt to control the content of a page by
one small group of users
who
happen to have an administrator or two to help
them out, and it is the
use
of administrator powers to gain a leg up in a
content dispute that I
primarily have a problem with.
I have a second problem with the abuse by these administrators in
removing
the complainant's complaints from other
pages, which is in effect trying
to
hide what they are doing from the community at
large.
Parker
