Tony seems to have got himself into a bitter dispute with the aforementioned MBisanz (T-C-L-K-R-D) - ostensibly about some date delinking thing, but it was MBisanz who tried to strangle Tony's AdminWatch / AdminReview project at birth recently, and Tony reckons that MBisanz has more sinister motives to discredit him before it can be launched.

MBisanz is an occasional member here, but is prone to some silly antics. Remember him removing Brandt's comments from a BLP discussion page, and then running to the admins noticeboard to tell tales on PrivateMusings who rightfully restored them?

Why is MBisanz so desperately trying to scupper Tony's AdminWatch project now?

Anyway, here is Tony on some arbitration page, appealing to the court regarding MBisanz's latest slur attempt against him:

QUOTE(Tony1)
[MBisanz's] "involvement" concerns his leading an (unsuccessful) attempt to delete my AdminReview page, and the potential for conflict of interest in attempting to slur me in this judicial context by quoting me from that page he tried to delete, representing a comment I made which has nothing to do with either this case or incivility. I believe that both diffs should be withdrawn immediately: one as irrelevant; the other as in bad faith with potential conflict of interest. Tony (talk) 17:38, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Probably an easy-enough mistake to make, though:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=204742064

Still, you've supported tougher blocking rules for BLP vandals and changing the AfD default to "delete" for BLP's, so perhaps this isn't an area for which you deserve bashing.

I was looking at some of your comments on User talk:Tony1/AdminReview/Archive_2 (T-H-L-K-D), and it looks like most of your stated objections are fairly reasonable, though based primarily on hypothetical scenarios that probably wouldn't come up very often. It seems like something rather nasty must have happened to cause you to somewhat-suddenly label the proposal an "attack page" and try to get it deleted...

So what was it, exactly? huh.gif
