bleh, I feel like an idiot now, the four people I'm talking to in
private messages about this on irc are adding in details they didn't
tell me before :/
let me clarify really fast:
Erik is his real name
Xirzon is his IRC nick
Eloquence is his wikinews name
Ida_mayhem is his bot name
sorry I didn't mention that earlier
Ok, I have now been informed that nGerda was blocked validly. I was told
he was just blocked and the Erik was doing this improperly. Once I
posted this email, I was told otherwise. I feel like an idiot right
now, sorry for that :(
As for the specific examples, I'm making those fools dig up evidence now
as I'm a tad bit embarrassed that they told me lies in the first place.
Once again, sorry,
Kyle

User:Xirzon doesn't exist and User:Erik is not a sysop and has no
edits. What aliases is Kyle referring to?
NGerda appears to have been validly blocked after a 3RR rule -- I
think he would have been blocked earlier but all the available admins
were involved in the dispute.
Perhaps kyle can cite specific examples (with diffs?)?
