Looks like someone at least (no, it wasn't me) thinks that Bonaparte should be unblocked.

You remember Bonaparte, don't you? The guy who was banned from Wikipedia after going to Jimbo begging him to revert actions by corrupt administrators. The guy with the flimsiest of flimsy evidences (and even then only if we believe the CheckUser nonsense) to suggest that he did anything wrong, that suddenly got a permaban.

Oh wait on, Wikipedia doesn't ban critics. And certainly they don't ban someone who exposed serious corruption and tried to get Jimbo to stop it.

I guess we can presume that Jimbo didn't want the corruption exposed, eh?

Oh and for some more fun, it looks like MarkSweep decided to vandalise Bonaparte's user page.

You know MarkSweep, don't you? That corrupt admin that took on the mass deletion of userboxes after the first round of Kelly Martin, Snowspinner and Tony Sidaway had been stopped in their tracks.

Good on ya, MarkSweep. We knew you could do it.

Funny though. MarkSweep, a corrupt admin, vandalising the user page of a user banned for trying to expose corrupt admins.

Oh wait, just a coincidence, right?

The "evidence" is here:

Oh, perhaps this should be moved to the Wikipedia editors sub board. Except that he's not a Wikipedia editor anymore.
