QUOTE FT2 is an obvious kook, and makes the entire project look ridiculous. It only shows how poorly things work here that he could get any position of responsibility, much less keep it for any length of time. However, I can't imagine this block will stick, and I can see all manner of drama ensuing. I think social ostracism works better than a block in cases like this. Friday (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC) I seriously think Bishonen should start an RFC on FT2. Blocking him like this is punitive. The encyclopedia isn't being damaged with him editing it. Majorly talk 21:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC) I'm not exactly sure what good this is supposed to do. What exactly is the block going to prevent - and if we're going to be creative - what behavior, practice, norm, policy, or principle is being assuaged here?--Tznkai (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC) WP:RFC time. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:35, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Friday, please don't throw around terms like "kook". This is a delicate matter and inflammatory words might only cause problems. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:39, 13 January 2009 (UTC) It's good to see that more people are starting to talk about FT2's insane behaviour. He still has his brown-nosers, but general opinion seems to be moving against him. About time, after FIVE YEARS of his backstabbing and meaningless verbal diarrhea..... Hah! 13 votes of confidence, 63 votes of no confidence..... This post has been edited by EricBarbour:

QUOTE(cyofee @ Tue 13th January 2009, 5:03pm) QUOTE(everyking @ Tue 13th January 2009, 10:58pm) It is simply ludicrous that people think they can solve problems like this. Yes, FT2 is obviously unfit to be an arbitrator, and arguably unfit to hold any position of responsibility on the site. But for Bishonen to swoop in and ban him based solely on her own say-so? It's just incredible to me that Wikipedia cannot grow out of such stupidity. FT2 is a long-standing contributor and any decision about blocking him should be based on the will of the community, not a single admin's say-so. Regardless of what happens to FT2, Bishonen (and/or her dinosaur alter-ego) should be desysopped.
Bishonen just followed WP:BOLD. There's also been WP:REVERT, and now we're on WP:DISCUSSing how unnecessarily BOLD and ill-advised it was. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) This post has been edited by SirFozzie:

Hypocrisy at a finest.
The block should have been labeled as "Arbitration Enforcement" (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

QUOTE(Anonymous editor @ Tue 13th January 2009, 10:17pm) QUOTE(written by he who wrote it @ Tue 13th January 2009, 5:09pm) Clearly she's fed up with FT2's inability (or deliberate refusal) to give a straightforward answer to an apparently simple question. My guess is that she hopes the heat of a massive dramafest will force him to either answer or bail.
I'm struggling to understand how she could think causing a huge dramafest is a positive result. What is her goal here? To shine a big effin' spotlight on FT2's bad behavior? To force FT2, and the arbcom, to quit stalling and either admit to misuse of oversight or explain why it wasn't actually a misuse? It's MeatBall:DirectAction.

It is bullying IMHO, what reason did she give? No-one can say he's disruptive, exceptionally, as an editor. This post has been edited by wikiwhistle:

As far as I am aware, nobody has ever been sanctioned for wheel-warring for undoing a single admin action (that hadn't already been undone). According to the letter of [[WP:WHEEL]], wheel-warring doesn't actually start until somebody redoes an admin action that has already been undone once, and I believe that's usually how it's enforced (when it's enforced).

Yeah, as in (IMG: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll191/Shrlocc/Bishzilla_blink.gif) Shame the flaming Godzilla version of Bish never made it to sysop, or the block could have been done by "it" as an even more drawwhmaitc move. Zoophilia fought with a radioactive Japanese monstermovie creature. Hmmm. Appropriate. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/obliterate.gif) the block was done by Bishzilla. Bishonen doesn't perform admin activities except through her sock.
