I would characterize Susan/Lir's comments to RK as perhaps reasonable, considering RK, and her exasperation... She cant turn to official channels if she's Lir,
If she's Lir, nothing she does is reasonable, since Lir/Bridget/Adam/Vera Cruz is banned.
If she's not Lir, then this particular response is still unreasonable. *If* RK is doing bad things, then the *best possible response* is to be extremely careful to follow the utmost standards of civility, so as to leave a firm paper trail that RK is the one doing something wrong.
What I really want to know is.. why do people think that she's Lir?
The style is the same, the hot button issues are the same. Lir used to say that it's racist to use English spellings for foreign words in the English encyclopedia. Susan suggests that RK is racist against Chinese people because he complained about your use of Kanji for your username. That's more or less the same argument, and ridiculous in both cases.
This was all under the premise that the sysops knew it for a fact, based on a static IP and other evidence...
Susan edits via an AOL dynamic ip. So this proves essentially nothing.
Why has this gone on so long, if there is definitive proof of.... and why is the accusation of, allowed and promulgated here if it is inuendo without basis?
It's not without basis, it's intelligent speculation. But, as I've said, it's not confirmed, and so I'm not going to act on it without something more definitive.
