Well, not much to read. Mantanmoreland and Samiharris both indefinitely blocked by Coren.

Lets see if David Gerard lights up the wheel war fireworks.

What is this wikilegalese of it being just an "indefinite block" as opposed to a "community ban" and why is undoing an "indefinite block" frowned upon while a "community ban" can just be undone by a rogue administrator?

Wouldn't this just keep going back and forth between the "community" and ArbCom? I mean, we should be celebrating the defeat of a master sockpuppeteer, but there's no real finality to this. What's to stop Gerard, SlimVirgin, JzG, or any admin from undoing this especially with some socially-powerful admins crying foul over Coren's block of MM?
