Gwen Gale never changes.....too stupid to realize the political statement of that picture (that the Duke lacrosse scandal article is utter defamatory crap), and too humorless to realize she's been trolled.

Actually Gwen Gale has changed quite a bit. The only thing that has not changed about her,
is her considering herself to be one the most important users, and behaving as such.

Here's Gwen Gale - a blocked user

There are too many of them for me here, too many role-playing troll admins, too many troll sockpuppet editors. Bye then. Gwen Gale 06:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


and here's Gwen Gale - a blocking admin

Owing to the above trolling, I have locked your talk page. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 12:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


or another example Here Gwen Gale, when she still was Wyss (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) is talking about ArbCom
QUOTE
Anyway I disagree that I ever disrupted Wikipedia or ever had the personal potential or whim to do that. My contribution history speaks for itself. I've been slapped hard by arbcomm for expressing my opinion that among them lurk wankers, fiddlers, fools and trolls who coddle their own kind. [[User:Wyss|Wyss]] 07:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)


And here Gwen Gale nominates herself for ArbCom (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif)

Is she stupid and humorless? Maybe, maybe no, but she is a bully for sure, a power hungry bully, who never should have been an admin in the first place.
Back to the block of RCS. It is one bad block, removing the talk page access over this very innocent post is harassment and misusing of the tools. I challenge arbitrators, who read this post to revert the idiotic block made by a bully administrator.

You sure do spend a lot of time researching Wikipedia, Mbz1.

Since you seem to bring to our attention every block Gwen Gale has ever made that you find questionable, should we assume the other dozens of blocks were okey-dokey with you?

"Dozens of blocks"? Would you please stop lying? Remember it is not wikipedia. Some of my blocks were OK, most were not, but I have never felt myself humiliated and bullied with any other block expect gwen gale's blocks. I am happy to discuss with you each and every my block, but I believe it should be done in a new thread. This thread posted a specific question, which so far was not answered.

BTW Are you gwen gale by any chance? looks like you're always defending her. And here is one of your first posts on WR
QUOTE
I'd love to be able to edit under my real name.
gwen gale also started editing under her real name as user Wyss.

Actually for some one who made 122 posts over 3+ years, you spent an amazing amount of time defending gwen gale.

Not your blocks Mbz1, I'm talking about all of the other blocks and admin actions done by Gwen Gale (or any other admin you have a problem with). You've spent what looks like long hours putting together these cases, tracking down what you consider bad admin actions over the last year or so. Does that mean the other admin actions taken by her (and any other admin) are good ones in your eyes?

There are few bad blocks gwen made. There are many bad blocks all over wikipedia.
gwen gale probably deserves the award of the idiot-administrator for blocking an editor because he donated to wikipedia 1,000 dollars and told a story about his donation at jimbo's talk.
Besides gwen gale lied in her RFA, used sock accounts to violate her topic ban, wrote two articles about herself, deleted her own talk page history, responded to canvasing, blocked editors while involved. So she is a special case that probably deserves not just a thread but a whole topic on her own,but once again the topic of this thread is BLP, and I am really interested, if the edit in question could have considered a BLP violation that required an indefinite block with no warning.

Well, go ahead and start one then so we can centralize all the craziness to one thread.
