Well, the Giano Wars continue.

Giano (T-C-L-K-R-D) was blocked under the ArbCom-placed civility parole for insulting Theresa Knott (T-C-L-K-R-D) .

Giano comes back as an IP to say hello to Bishonen (T-C-L-K-R-D) .

Charles Matthews (T-C-L-K-R-D) reblocks Giano for evading a block.

Moreschi (T-C-L-K-R-D) unblocks the block with the backing of several administrators.

FT2 (T-C-L-K-R-D) blocks Moreschi and Giano. Now its likely Moreschi may lose his sysop bit for his act of rebellion.

Many administrators now hate FT2 and Charles Matthews, but the Community is still heavily divided.

Sigh. And the tragedy continues.

QUOTE(Kato @ Wed 17th December 2008, 1:43am) *

We should create a game. Where we follow the names of the "uninvolved parties" on each case to see if we get a Full House.

A Full House is
  1. DocG (Scott Macdonald)
  2. SlimVirgin
  3. Sticky Parkin
  4. Jehochman
  5. ElonkaD
  6. Jossi
  7. DTobias
  8. Ryan Postlethwaite
  9. Durova
  10. Privatemusings
  11. Tony Sidaway
  12. Alex Bakharev
  13. MONGO
  14. ElinorD/Wikitumnus
  15. Fred Bauder
*Struck names are people who have already commented on this latest case.

The Reviewer who is the first to spot a Full House and shouts "House" on a thread receives a Wikipedia Review prize.


Ha, well yes. Although Tony's really pretty gone these days.

Indeed, I haven't seen him in Brad's tea shop for a while.


Scott macdonold is you? Thats useful to know.
