I see.
Apogr & Ralesk, I suggest you supply "specific information".
(Although I think I might mention that I disagree with Brion; although Apogr was a little vague in his original posting, he did give "specific information" in the sense that what he described clearly constitutes sysop privilege abuse.)
Well, let's look at what he said:
I wonder why Grin, who seems to be in charge of editing/revising/censoring wikipedia in Hungarian,
It starts with an ad hominem attack ("censoring").

It's not clear what "disqualify" means. All Wikipedians have wide privileges to edit, refactor, remove, and rebuild, and should have the courage to do so ("be bold in editing!")
a) are not direct translations of a similar entry in the En Wiki
No examples are given with which we could attempt to verify the claim.
b) he is not familiar with, as he does not seem to be knowledgeable in everything, save GNU technology and practising paranoia.
No examples are given, and again an ad hominem attack.
It has happened twice already, and both me and a friend of mine find it insulting and revolting to doubt our competence that way,
It has happened "twice", but neither instance is described with specificity, and the other wronged party remains unnamed. All we know is that they feel insulted.
especially so, because both entries were offered in the trial sections (usertalk) for comment and were instead labelled as text of dubious origin.
This makes it appear that articles were never actually put up, but merely proposed in discussion. "Text of dubious origin" is not clarified, but copyright/plagiarism suspicions are one reason one might raise such an objection in a discussion.

Closes with an ad hominem attack, without ever specifying the alleged wrongdoing.
