I'm also really pissed off in general about the
last 24 hours in
america. So whatever.

First, I do a mea culpa on not being the perfect little lady editor. I
edit in controversial areas (which according to some guys in itself
proves I'm a drama queen!), disagree with and revert male editors, argue
in a strong manner, sometimes get as competitive as some male editors,
take issues to noticeboards when there's a stalemate and sometimes
editors to ANI when they really get out of line. There is a small
percentage of guys who just go crazy over this sort of thing and from
time to time I say snotty things to them. Nothing like some of the
things that have been said to me!
In the last 3 months I've been under intense harassment and have
written a couple stupid things and today I really let ArbCom know just
what I think. (Per Sarah's comment about Ferguson; having lived in a 95%
black area for almost 20 years, I do take it emotionally).
Anyway my Arbitration Evidence provides a timeline of disruption at GGTF
and detailed the battleground attitudes of a nasty little coterie of
editors who set out to disrupt GGTF and harass a few individual
editors. As I came to learn as Arbitration progressed, over the years
they have driven off a number of editors who disagreed with them.

Since they love to yap about "Carol's biggest crimes (all two)" here
they are. Much fewer and far more excusable than much of the stuff
they've pulled.
* After two editors harassing me were either Ibanned or chastised, I got
fed up with another harasser who I believed might be married to the the
King pin editor of this gang and asked her if that was why she was
harassing me, in a not very diplomatic manner. What can I say,
PTSD.... I immediately apologized when it was denied, but have been
hearing about it over and over ever since.
* Last week I got really pissed that even after ArbCom voted to site ban
me, King pin's friends KEPT harassing me! I got pissed and wrote: "This
is a [[gang bang]] over [[C*nt-gate]] by individuals who I mostly am
unfamiliary with" in text and edit summary. The comment was ignored but
at least an arbitrator told them to cut it out which they did for a
couple days. Then it started up again the last few days.

Today I got pissed that two other individuals who had insulted and
harassed me repeatedly in the past were doing it there. I wrote my REAL
OPINION of what is going on with the whole Arbitration. And cc'd to
Jimmy Wales (who has said the same kind of things about this group,
basically told them to get lost, but refuses to get the WMF board to do
anything about enforcing terms of service.)
/Some people seem to think that ArbCom is so naive they don't know that
the Manchester Gangbangers and their cronies/minions are engaged in
'''institutionalized harassment''' using ArbCom as one of their
harassment tools. They think just explaining that will open their eyes
and they'll do the right thing.//
//No, the only thing that will clear Wikipedia of this vicious coterie
is a national publicity campaign to pressure the WMF into enforcing its
Terms of Service, including against culpable ArbCom members. (I see
several Sitush/Corbett/ cronies/minions are running for the next
Arbitration Committee.) And I'm one of dozens who see it that way, we
just haven't decided where to organize our efforts. Just because their
tactic worked on silencing 1.2 billion Indians with their Brit
imperialist drivel doesn't mean it will work on silencing 3.3 billion
women. After all 1/2 the members of the Board are women. /

Which got me blocked for (now) 72 hours. By which time I'll be site
banned anyway.
So that's how evil I am!!! Needlesstosay I feel very liberated and
wonder why I didn't quit years ago. (Besides fact I'm a stubborn taurus
the bull.) Now that I'll finally after 8 years be able to update my
website, I'll be creating
http://carolmoore.net/wikipedia with all sorts
of things I've learned over the years. Plus obviously GGTF stuff and a
side by side comparison of the evidence provided against me (mostly me
getting pissed after intensive harassment) vs. the obnoxious things that
several other editors had done at GGTF, me and/or others over the
years. That won't be done til January/February.
Some of are talking about getting something else together off wikipedia,
but nothing solid...

So that's the story....
