(Mostly to) Parker Peters --
The suggestion that a de-sysopping or request for arbitration ought to
occur is excessive. I fail to see anything wrong with what Luna and
Samuel did. Luna has, at the very least, presented evidence to support
her position in a polite manner. From you, however, most of what I see
amounts to /see... there's an admin cabal; I know there is/. It's one
thing to disagree with someone, but it's another thing to be so dogmatic
in your opinion that you believe the opposition is part of some
conspiracy. Unfortunate is the fact that you've resorted to that stance.

Perhaps that is the problem, your willingness to
jump at shadows and
underlying hostility to anyone who doesn't genuflect "just so" towards
you.
While I do value your opinions, I will be frank on this count: I don't
trust
you to be neutral.
I openly challenge you to take a dig through my postings to this mailing
list, and back up your claims of my behavior and attitudes. Go for it. If
you can find evidence that I've been serially abusing the few powers and
positions of trust the community has seen fit to grant me, by all means,
bring it to my attention. I have no qualms with specific and reasonable
complaints grounded in fact.
In this case, I'm not the only user who suspects block evasion. One IP
address is blocked for trolling and general disruption, a second IP
address
comes onto the scene and begins making the exact same reverts -- hardly a
stretch of the imagination, here.
Again, as you seem to be concerned by what's happened. I have no objection
if you desire to pursue this on your own.

Luna,
I'll be frank with you as well: I approach things a bit different from the
way you do.
It seems obvious to me that you approach things assuming the administrator
is right. I approach things with an open mind and analyze the data first,
then see what I can see from there. The majority of the time, I'lll admit
that the administrator is right.
This, however, is plainly not one of those times. Instead, this seems to be
an attempt to control the content of a page by one small group of users who
happen to have an administrator or two to help them out, and it is the use
of administrator powers to gain a leg up in a content dispute that I
primarily have a problem with.
I have a second problem with the abuse by these administrators in removing
the complainant's complaints from other pages, which is in effect trying to
hide what they are doing from the community at large.
Parker
