It seems Dreadstar overturned one of Sandstein's AE blocks, and was promptly dragged to Arbcom in retaliation .
I don't really care what happens either way, but holy crap look at the hypocrisy from SlimVirgin right there. |

This seems complicated, one of those situations where you can't tell the players without a playbook. The SlimVirgin hypocrisy is not immediately obvious to me, although don't get me wrong, I haven't a scintilla of doubt that it exists. I suspect that corrupt WikiAlliances are at play here; Dreadstar was recently barnstarred by Will Beback for perma-blocking a pro-LaRouche editor, which would also earn him big points with SV and Four Deuces, both of whom show up to comment here on Dreadstar's behalf. The Pseudoscience topic probably triggers sympathetic action from any number of well-established tag-teams, such as the Climate Changers. However, the real motives of all concerned are buried here in a tl:dr mass of WikiLawyering.
If there is any applicable jargon that I have neglected to use in this post, please let me know. |

SV was desysopped as retaliation for overturning an AE block. Wait, she was desysopped for overturning an AE block and here she is "defending" (somewhat halfheartedly) another editor who is in danger of being desysopped for overturning an AE block - I got that right? How is that hypocrisy? It sounds like consistency to me. Of course it could be a self serving, cynical kind of consistency, but it is not hypocritical. Hypocritical would be if she had insisted on her right to overturn AE blocks but wanted to have Dreadstar desyssoped for the same. Let's keep the sins straight here. (oh I see someone else already caught this) This post has been edited by radek: Sat 12th March 2011, 5:04am |
