So after both of us were banned from the CC proposed decision page, I for pointing out that WMC was simply stirring shit for shit's sake and WMC for calling me insane, WMC seems to have gone on yet another one of his temper tantrums:
After running around to various talk pages making an ass out of himself he ended up
calling Sandstein insane after a dispute where Connolley sees no problem with him edit warring to delete his own comments in a conversation on Sandstein's talk page - Sandstein's position is that he should strike out his comments, but not remove them. [... etc.]
I've been fascinated to see how someone like WMC could behave in ways that would get a lesser mortal blocked in a flash, yet ArbComm piddles around trying to figure out what to do.
It's not that I'm big on blocking and banning, but .... if you are going to do it, how about blocking and banning the most disruptive, uncivil, disruptive of all the trolls? His behavior, as documented in RfAr/Abd-William M. Connolley, was utterly outrageous, and it continued, only without admin tools.
I certainly got no gratitude for having reduced his clout that much. There is hardly anyone defending me on-wiki, certainly not of the old-timers. One of the global warming skeptic crowd has, and GoRight practically sacrificed himself for me, even though I have a very different POV. I prefer the company of the blocked and banned, to most of the idiots who remain. Still, here and there, there are glimpses of light. Petri Krohn, perhaps an enemy of some of my friends, has nevertheless been very helpful. Friends show up in the oddest places! If I were allowed, I'd try to mediate.... but I'm not, at least not on-wiki. That's ArbComm!
Rootology appears to have retired over Connolley's revert warring with him, during the RfAr, over a notice placed on Hipocrite's Talk page. I'd theorized that WMC and Hipocrite were in cahoots, that the whole situation where he banned both me and Hipocrite from cold fusion was a charade, and this was, later, quite a confirmation. Why was WMC risking sanction to protect Hipocrite from a mere notice?
Rootology was renamed to
User:GoneAwayNowAndRetired (T-C-L-K-R-D)
, see the essay:
User:GoneAwayNowAndRetired/Wikipedia is broken and failing (T-H-L-K-D)This is the legacy of people like WMC and others whom ArbComm has long tolerated. In the end, this is ArbComm's legacy, because by sanctioning others and leaving these "valuable volunteers" alone, they enabled them, like any collection of co-dependents.
