There's currently a request at WP:RFAR to review Moulton's indefinite block. I'm a bit confuzzled. No arb has yet voted on whether to accept it or not, and I know they're active - the Episodes and characters RFAR just went from evidence fo voting. Will he win a reprieve like Ferrylodge? Or will he be sunk like Iantresman?

No, I wasn't comparing Moulton to Nobs in that way. It's clear that Nobs took ArbCom as seriously as if it were not Kangarooled over by Kartoonish Marsupials, but I cannot farce myself to believe, just yet, that Moulton is not engaging in something closer to Terry Southern's Candy than Voltaire's Candide.

No, my critique of his performance is more that it's Too Damn Good, and that it consequently runs the risk of leading some our more unsuspecting spectators back into the Cave.

Of course, if this were a live performance, the due amount of mugging and wincing would serve as clues to even the most clueless spectator, so maybe a judicious use of emoticons could help out there.
