User:Chase me ladies, I'm the cavalry, Another member of the military moonlights as an admin and makes a fool Options

[Heat]

User:Chase_me_ladies,_I'm_the_Cavalry is a member of "The Armed Forces of the Crown" (ie the Royal Navy) and a wikipedia admin on OTRS duty. He seems to have cocked this one up by taking at 100% face value an OTRS complaint by professional conspiracy theorist Isreal Shamir that User:RolandR was using Wikipedia to try to get him assassinated. Can you really enforce BLP by libelling an editor?

Mods, why is this in a public forum? Shouldn't it be somewhere like BLP forum?

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with his activities. I came here expecting something and I see nothing.

We have Arbitrators who plagiarize. We have arbitrators who have sex websites. We have arbitrators who have all sorts of ethical problems.

Military related issues have little to do with maintaining an encyclopedia and upholding encyclopedic standards. Are we to draw that he cannot be trusted because he puffed up his background in his youth? If so, then 99% of Wikimedians can't be trusted.

How about some real issues. Out of all the Arbitrators, I think he is probably someone I could actually respected or, at least, tolerate. Many of them have demonstrated some of the worse possible behavior on Wiki or off Wiki.

And who cares if he doesn't have a job. I don't care. I would predict that most editors here don't have a job. The ones that do, like Thekohser have internet related work that explains why they are here. Hell, much of my activity here and online was to subsidize my boredom between putting out campaign propaganda on message boards and news sites.


But in short, I am bothered that so many people take pot shots about an identified person while hiding behind fake names. So many people are fast and loose with other people's personal details while hiding their own. Can we implement a rule that anyone who reveals other people's info has their IP revealed and their email they used to registered here revealed?

I mean, come on. How do we know that some of these people doing it aren't prominent wikimedians just doing it all for political gain? We do we know that someone who would go after The Cavalry is not, say, another Arbitrator who wants to get rid of a rival? There seems to be no legitimate reason to embarrass others while hiding behind a fake name. And about the Arbitrators - of the current ArbCom, about half have used WR and I know of at least two that used different names from their Wiki names. So, it isn't beyond reason to think it could happen.

Yes but theology and canon law have even less, especially for a so-called educational charity. Also the mil-hist stuff is slightly easier to stomach content-wise.

As opposed to roughly 98.6% prior to your above statement?

Semen Reservist, I like that. Is that some kind of Taoist sex practise? Yeah, I had this guy arrogantly and erroneously twat all over me but he sure wasn't holding back on the juices.

You'll be delighted to know the Catholic church recently approved it for male prostitutes. I guess they owed all those ex-altar-boys a favor.

My point was that I am not seeing any examples of him using his status on MilHistory pages to push a view.

That was what Essjay did on Theology pages. I would like to see examples of that instead of just vague background statements.

As I said, there are other Arbitrators that have damaged the encyclopedia in serious ways. If Chase did that then why is it not filling this thread? Why talk about whatever semantic gray area military boring UK stuff that exists and not about active page destruction by other Arbs? Seems like a red herring.



I care about plagiarism. That is just me, I guess. The above pursuits are boring.
