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?

I haven't gone through Chase's edits to see if he's edited on military matters or had any related disputes, even if he hasn't, claiming to be a Royal Navy officer would have given him undeserved prestige and respect from editors who care about status and the like and undoubtedly would have helped him win votes when he was running for ArbComm since, as I said earlier, since a good percentage of editors would think being an officer means the candidate has demonstrated a degree of responsibility and good judgment in real life.
