Hoi, On the nl:wikipedia there is a controversy about a troll. This troll has been blocked repeatedly for a period of an increasing length. This user is the persona of a known anonymous vandal who has a history of using different IP-numbers. When he was banned for a week, he started with sockpupputs. His ban was extended to a month.
In the mean time one users tried to mediate, but made the mistake to identify to much with one party and not listening to the others. The discussions both in IRC and on the nl:wikipedia became increasingly acrimonious. It resulted in the discussion being moved to another wikipedia and in the mediator being blocked and kickbanned for insulting.
For your information I am NOT involved in this quarrel.
I have however a problem with the fact that a small wikipedia, the ia:wikipedia (Interlingua) is abused by being the host for a quarrel of another wikipedia. I think this is unacceptable. I would appreciate some discussion about this and as much as I hate rules, I think if there must be a rule to prevent this, so be it.
Thanks, GerardM
