So I went to the Arbitration requests page and discovered this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...ndon_LaRouche_3

Maybe this time we shall see some justice.

Will Beback, delirious with rage because multiple editors are now interloping on his LaRouche articles, has made an insanely rash tactical error. He is attempting to game the system to drive Cla68 away, in a way that is so obvious that even the typical Wikipediot is going to catch on. First, he adds a bunch of stuff about climate change to a LaRouche article. Then he goes to the ArbCom to complain that Cla68 is violating the Climate Change arbcom decision because he is commenting (not editing, just commenting) on an article about a "major climate change denier."

Statement is substantially true, no?

I'm pretty sure that LaRouche believes that global warming is scientific fraud. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're not wrong.

The term "denier" is a major Weasel word. Other than that, LaRouche does believe that anthropogenic global warming is a scientific fraud. That, however, is not what is at issue here. The question is whether Will suddenly developed an interest in LaRouche's views on this subject, because he thought he saw an opportunity to drive Cla68 away from LaRouche articles by gaming the CC arbcom decision.

LaRouche's views on climate change (and the environment in general) are unambiguous, known to all moderately familiar with him, and overdue for inclusion regardless of underlying motive.

The likelihood that a user added certain content chiefly to be a dick does not imply said content is an inch out of place.
