And now we have an RFC, and what's more, an ArbCom case Options

[-DS-]

Requests for comment/Cirt

Who wants to bet on whether this will go anywhere or not?

Willbeback reminds me of a badguy pro wrestler who hits his opponent with a foreign object while the ref isn't looking and when the ref turns around he has his hands up saying "I didn't do anything" even though a whole crowd of people know what's going on.

The primary difference on Wikipedia being that everyone is a bad guy with a folding chair and there are no referees.

The following motion has now been proposed:

The Committee, having considered the statements made in the current request, will: a. accept "Cirt and Jayen466" as a case, with User:Cirt and User:Jayen466 as the only parties, to examine personal and interpersonal conduct issues concerning the two parties; b. accept "Feuding and BLPs" as a separate case, with all named parties other than Cirt and Jayen466 as parties, to examine meta behavioural issues and reconcile the applicable principles; c. decline without prejudice to refiling fresh requests on better focused grounds no earlier than 30 days from the date of this motion passing any other matter raised herein.

Does anyone share the impression that this seems designed to address anything but Cirt's editing?

Yes. It looks to me that all editors who desire to use WP as a soapbox for rootin', tootin', BLP-violatin' agenda-driven activism and COATRACK construction view the Cirt case as a watershed for the continuation of their activities, and they will raise a hue and cry that he is being Wikihounded and persecuted. The ArbCom, having tested the wind and smelled the aroma, will now back away from any discussion of Cirt's activities, especially since he has demonstrated a sincere commitment to apologize for his POV pushing each time he is called on it, before he resumes doing it.
