In the past I've pointed out on-wiki how Connolley's pattern is to break his various sanctions in the most drama producing way possible. Typically, he does this by innocuously violating his sanction, which usually results in someone filing a request for enforcement against him while his typical allies rally forth with cries of, "But it didn't harm anyone!" - this sort of thing usually ends with his sanction being "clarified" (i.e. the severity is reduced).

If nobody complains then he ups the ante and violates his ban in a slightly more serious way until someone complains or until people just accept that the ban doesn't really apply to him.

Well, he has already started this tried and true tactic by removing a simple bit of vandalism from the diamond dust article. But oh noes? Is it climate related or meteorology? It has a climate section, but it isn't really about global warming. <1>

Of course, why would someone vandalize a lowly-trafficked article that hasn't been edited since June is anyone's guess. I mean, Connolley would never use a proxy or friend to vandalize a page just so he could prove a point and spite others....no....he certainly wouldn't.

I guess we'll see what Arbcom's definition of "broadly construed" means.
