The essential in what is indeed quite a long article seems to me in the 
section Bannissement (presque) collectif, which gives a clipping from the 
ArbCom ruling (in English as well as French).  And makes some complaints 
about the handling (which have some merit).

The basic issues are like this:

- where an existing controversy teleports into WP, how to stop the edit 
warring, when it is being fueled elsewhere?

- particularly in such a situation, how to play spot the sockpuppet, without 
biting newbies?
