Not exactly an open secret, though if anyone had bothered looking hard enough, it wasn't particularly difficult to figure it out.
The particulars of this outing are nasty, though. On IRC on Tuesday night,
IronholdsÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
asked
LawÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
to move a particular article. Law wouldn't oblige, so
DanielÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
stepped in. The three of them bickered for a while (reading the logs, it was embarrassing behavior for all three). Eventually Ironholds figured out that Law was
the_undertowÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
and sent IRC logs to the Arbitration Committee.
I'm not sure about other parts of the world, but 'round here we call that kind of thing being a rat.
Can we just go back to the beginning for a moment? What exactly was the genesis of this new drama? Precisely, what article did Ironholds want moved and why didn't Law oblige? I am curious to see how the conversation devolved from "Please move this article?" to "Aha, you're a phony!" -- I can't see the logical progression there. (IMG:

And what role, if any, did Daniel play in ratting out Law? According to
this statement, it appears tomorrow's legal eagle (by his own admission) had a finger or two in the unmasking. (IMG:

I suspect the article in dispute was
Andrew Bonar Law, the below history extract also indicates something was oversighted between Law's move and Ironhold's subsequent edit.
