Odd nature, sockpuppet of FeloniousMonk, Arbitration Committee overlooks it Options

[Proabivouac]

As the world gasps at the absurdity of Durova’s evidence against the “ripened sock” User:!!

http://www.wikitruth.info/index.php?title=...Sekret_Evidence

let’s not overlook another allegation of sockpuppetry, this one infinitely more compelling, involving not a purported WR troll, but the respected administrator FeloniousMonk:

Now, I’ve absolutely nothing against FeloniousMonk. I recall him as a reasonable and capable administrator, who in this instance appears to be standing up to classic POV-pushing. He probably just lost it faced with the futility of a system in which content is decided by edit-warring and numbers, and, yes, sockpuppets on all sides (most of whom, it should be emphasized, are home-grown and have nothing to do with WR or trolls.)

But the fact is that FM has sockpuppeted, not due to privacy concerns or to escape harassment, but to gain an upper hand in a content dispute through work/home tag-teaming - the most classic and indisputably abusive use of socks.

And the Arbitration Committee does nothing.

Is it that they’re too clueless to confidently arrive at a decision, even with all this evidence (to which much more might be added?) Is it that they(like me, and probably many of us here) agree with the content FM and his sockpuppet User:Odd nature is pushing? Or is it that, as a well-regarded administrator, FM’s misbehavior has been willfully overlooked?

FM (or MF as I like to use *grin*) falsely accused me of "sockpuppetry." Here's what I wrote for the Wiki noticeboard:

FM has been violating WP:AGF and making baseless accusations against me. This started when he "discovered" that I had not been logging in to my user account to edit. (The story behind that is a long one, but to be brief, I am no longer regularly editing and have retired my username.) In not logging in, my IP address was used and, like many IP addresses, it is not static - the last three digits change from time to time - something completely out of my control. FM immediately started accusing me of sockpuppeting, ignoring AGF (which is strongly encouraged for admins here and for handling possible sockpuppets here). I have never denied I was still editing and never hid my identity for any reason. I readily admitted that I was Jinxmchue. This information, however, did not stop FM from continuing to make his accusation and claiming I was doing it do disrupt, avoid blocks, and to disassociate my edits with my username. I asked him to provide proof of his accusations, but he simply ignored my request and described it as "trolling." Of course, his sockpuppeting accusations were never officially made on WP:SSP (and it's not in the November archive, either), likely due to him knowing that the accusation lacked merit. Evidence for FM's behavior can be seen in the following links:

Furthermore, when admin Guettarda wrongly re-blocked me for supposedly violating an edit block (see here), I requested a block removal. FM (along with Guettarda) has been intimately involved in the issues involving editing an article which led to my initial block. Despite this gross conflict of interest, FM handled the block removal request (denying it, of course). Admins with the same agendas and POV working together like this to prevent their admin actions from being questioned and possibly reversed is simply astounding and should not be allowed. A neutral admin should have handled the block removal request.

FM's hostile attitude towards me is unacceptable (and I admit my hostile reactions towards his behavior were also unacceptable, but I don't have admin powers to abuse).

The whole issue of "disruption MF made was based upon my defending the rightful removal of anti-ID blogs as a reference from a couple of ID articles. (They didn't fit the very narrow definition of acceptable blogs under WP:V.) I was accused of "edit-warring" despite the fact that wars require two sides to fight it. No one else was held to the same standard, of course, because they were defending the inclusion of the anti-ID blogs.

So you'll understand and excuse me for taking exception to the portrayal of MF as "a reasonable and capable administrator."

FM and cohorts (OrangeMarlin et. al), that's their focus mainly and they seem to have a tight control on ID articles, regularly tag-teaming to keep things their way. They also seem to have some ties with Slim and JzG, but it isn't always so lovey-dovey.
