SlimVirgin, Zeq, and Zero, Split from 'Tactics of the Master Baiters' Options

[The Adversary]

Apparently ms Hell cannot get into her head that one reason why she is so disliked is because she for many years protected some of the worst editors/harassers on WP. After IronDukes nasty baiting of Gnetwerker, she still tries to pass him off as a "popular and respected member of the community"

Another one WP-disaster/harasser she protected was User:Zeq; she unblocked him after he had published personal information on one of his opponents

Thank you very much. What does Zeq do next? Create articles (now both deleted) on two of his WP-adversaries; first, and second

So; here we have one nasty editor, who, with the help of ms. SV, is outing/harassing no less than 3 of his opponents on Wikipedia, but this is not enough to get him banned/blocked (Zeq was finally indef´d after the C.A.M.E.R.A. affair.)

I unblocked Zeq because Zero indefblocked him, after Zeq posted on Zero's page, "Hope you enjoyed your holiday," or words to that effect. The edit was designed to show that Zeq knew who Zero was, but it did not tell anyone else who he was. Zero knew he should not have indefblocked someone for that, and especially not Zeq, given he was in constant conflict with him.

But you knew that already, didn't you, Adversary? I thought you didn't approve of admins who use their tools against opponents.

I believe you've answered the wrong question here, dear. What you've given us above is the pretext for your unblock; you have yet to tell us why you actually unblocked him. I'm sure there is someone here who can produce countless examples of you failing to unblock people blocked by admins who themselves were in conflict with the person they blocked.

I have never seen any Wikipedian admin unblock another user for the sole reason that the user unblocked had been blocked by an admin who was in conflict with the blocked user. There has always been an underlying ulterior motive by the unblocking admin, that being either political alliance with the blocked user or political opposition to the blocking admin.

So you claim. It was so "innocent" that Zero wiped his talk-page at once (and SV did not restore all the history). See the log.

Exactly. Zeq was her one-man-mob (just like IronDuke). Zeq had been trying to out Zero, or find out who he was, at least from the end of 2005. And SV knew; look at this sweet little conversation from April 2006: "Don't try to patronize me, Zero. You have no qualifications or professional experience in this area." (Heh. Just as if SV had any "qualifications or professional experience in this area" )

So shall we turn this around, ms Hell, and say that you should not have unblocked the harasser of one you were in conflict with?

And, ms. Hell; don´t tell me you were not aware of the two attack-articles that Zeq started in the weeks afterwards; why was he not indef. blocked for those? How many editors haven´t you indef. blocked because they started just one attack-article? Oh, but that was when they started an article about your friend W..., then they were indef. blocked at once.

I have said so before, and I repeat: it was the outrageous double-standard back in the dark-ages of WP (2005-2006-2007) that I reacted against. Like SV indef.-blocking Gnetwerker for "making the typical sockpuppet-mistake of forgetting who he was logged in as", while at the very same time not blocking Matanmoreland even though she knew he had committed exactly the same mistake. And not once, but twice.

Having said this, I (perhaps unlike Gomi and Jon A.?) do think that things have improved lately on WP. But that does not mean that I have forgotten (or forgiven) former abuse, which drove of good contributors, and kept awful ones.
Like Zeq.
Like IronDuke.
