At some point Sarah was talking about people involved in this becoming admins and crats on other wikis. This is what has me confused. Are the people Gerard is refering to the same people Sarah is refering to about becoming admins on other language wikis?

You would have to ask Sarah and clarify with Gerard. If Gerard was referring to the example I read to him, the individual never had special
ops
on any project. There exist a variety of such people, though.
I don't see Birgitte as a a person given to rash conclusions; she is probably more careful than most about questioning them. Comments about some stalker being an admin or bureaucrat do become a part of the landscape. You may even be talking about two different people. In time these stories tend to merge.

Ray, I call 'em like I see 'em. Your responses at this thread consistently have the tone and content of someone who has not been paying requisite attention to the material.
In no way did I imply that Birgitte makes rash conclusions. Nor did I comment about any stalker being an admin or bureaucrat. It was SlimVirgin who made that assertion, not me.
The opening post of this thread linked to a Digg page about an Article by David Shankbone. You made a number of tangential posts, then failed to recognize his name when I used it. It was I who started that Digg and David cited me in his article. Three times this week I have posted to my blog on the topic, including a full quote and a diff of a threat against David. I posted it long before you requested that type of example here.
The word "prejudice" means premature judgment: to reach a conclusion before examining adequate evidence.
