To be fair the original "emergency" desysop of the project proposer and
probably most active user Si_Gam_Acèh was done for the edit warring on the
main page http://ace.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ôn_Keuë&action=history<http://ace.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C3%94n_Keu%C3%AB&action=history>
last
night.

 There were no blocks of stewards or global sysops etc before that desysop.
I'm going to be honest when I say I think the other sysops responses were
more reactions to THAT desysop then anything else. I posted on the RfC right
after I saw that last night and was very worried it would only go downhill
after it :/. The only thing I see coming out of this at the moment is
"proof" that we are indeed pushing our own opinion on the local community
and as many problems I see with the template I'm not sure this is being
handled well :(.
