Why did JzG redirect "Turd burglar" to "Gay"?, Can you say "homophobic"? I know you can....

Then he protects the page in an "obvious" move... It would seem that the article in question doesn't exist...So why did he do this in the first place? Sheez, what more proof do you need that this guy is homophobic? Why is this person allowed to remain an admin? This post has been edited by the fieryangel: Sun 22nd July 2007, 9:57pm

I mean, it's not as though everyone doesn't know that already... There's no difference for a non-admin, but an admin can still see non-Oversighted pages and logs. The information would be available to that WikiTruth admin I keep hearing about. This page hasn't been oversighted; it's just deleted and protected from editing. No one violated the Oversight policy by Oversighting a page that shouldn't have been Oversighted. And I think JzG's comment about "obvious" was concerning the page protection: it's been repeatedly recreated, so it's obvious it needs some protection. JMO, of course.
