Hmm. Apparently what happened this time was, AnonIP 67.250.120.197 tried to add some "external links" to the article on
Deborah Burlingame (T-H-L-K-D), who apparently is some sort of conservative 9/11 victims' advocate. Goethean reverted that, claiming that 67.250.120.197 was a "Joehazelton sock" and altering the relevant "SPI" page to reflect this claim. 67.250.120.197 may or may not be Mr. Victim (I'd guess not, since he's never posted here on WR from 67-anything), but in any event, Goathead then went on to accuse
SpaceysrocketsÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
of being "Joehazelton" as well, when Spaceysrockets voted to delete one of Goathead's pet articles on one of his new-age pals,
Dawn Covington (T-H-L-K-D), and also tried to re-insert some criticism of another one of Goathead's pals,
George Berkeley. Both 67.250.120.197 and Spaceysrockets were blocked, apparently at Goathead's behest.
My guess is that Spaceysrockets probably
was Mr. Victim, who in turn was alerted to the 67.250.120.197 situation by the change to the SPI page. But he did nothing with the account that was actually "blockworthy" - I understand that they block Mr. Victim's known IP addresses pretty much reflexively, but I don't see anything that would even have warranted a CheckUser on that account. So, my conclusion is that both blocks were abusive.
Why don't they just make Goathead an admin/bureaucrat/checkuser/steward, if they're just going to do whatever he wants them to? It would save time... it looks like they don't even bother to check these things, they just do whatever he says. Meanwhile, he continues to spam WP with BS about these marginal new-age guru-types whom nobody has ever heard of (and, I suspect, deservedly so).
