[WikiEN-l] Abuse of powers by admins as per usual: Tony Sidaway

We have a situation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Existentializer.2C_suspected_sock_of_Enviroknot

As far as I can tell, this is pure bullshit. Tony Sidaway has taken a
cherry-picked list of edits out of a long list, and is using them to
"prove" a point which cannot be made.

Analysis of Tony Sidaway's "Proof":

- An edit made to MoveOn.Org  regarding a Drudge Report document.
- A following exposive commentary back and forth with an equally
partisan writer from the other side.

- A revert edit on [[Jihad]] during a time when user
BrandonYusufToropov and a number of anonymous IP address sockpuppets
were in a revert war over some highly NPOV-violating content.

Tony Sidaway thinks this "proves" that Existentializer is Enviroknot.
However, this was Existentializer's ONLY edit to the article and
multiple editors were opposing the edits by a highly pro-Islam
anonymous IP. In the whole line, Existentializer makes only one edit,
although he (along with other editors) deals fiercely with the
POV-pushing BrandonYusufToropov on the talk page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jihad/Arhive7).

It should be noted at this time that it is BrandonYusufToropov who
makes indiscriminate accusations of sockpuppetry at ANY editor who
contradicts him.

The WHOLE chain of edits:

YouSuck Islamist Toropov evading 3RR by dropping to IP.)

Jihad Doctrine)

-The fact that Existentializer has also made GOOD EDITS is used as
evidence AGAINST him (what kind of fucking lunacy allows this to
stand?!!!!!)

-The user's reverting away from his own user page of an edit by a user
("EnviroFuck") who was reported to be a sockpuppet of the banned user
Yuber:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Yuber/Proposed_decision

I will also have to note at this time that User Ni-Ju-Ichi and user
Zeno of Elea have also been accused of being "Enviroknot", either by
anonymous IP sockpuppets (and wholly WITHOUT justification) or by
BrandonYusufToropov.

Despite this, Tony Sidaway took it upon himself to put in place an
eternal block upon Existentializer " pending a decision on whether he
is a sock of Enviroknot."

Tony Sidaway is VERY out of line doing this.
