QUOTE
I haven't really followed the issue that closely, but from what I've seen on Wikipedia, the group didn't actually do very much, aside from sending around various e-mails. Nevertheless, EI's spin is being accepted as fact, and a [[witch-hunt]] has ensued, along with some pretty hysterical rhetoric, and various other panicky responses, many amusing or sad depending on your perspective (the ritual marking of any article mentioned on the list was a particularly absurd touch). And, as was to be expected, several of Zeq's ideological foes were all hypocritically outdoing themselves with self-righteous comments, ignoring the fact that they do exactly what that CAMERA list was allegedly intended to do, but never actually did - tag-teaming and POVing various I-P related articles, particularly ones edited by Zeq or Jaakobou. All-in-all, a sorry mess from start to finish; let's hope the ArbCom can sort it out.

What a fucking asshole.

It has crossed my mind that Zeq could be a Jayjg sock, with the dim-witted persona carefully crafted to disguise Jayjg's devious and calculating approach.

Pass that idea along to Dmcdevit and see if he picks up the ball and runs with it.

Naah! He'll say it's a Runcorn sock.
Moulton
Super. Now we have two competing theories, with distinct predictions.

What's needed next is the indicated experiment to discover what, in fact, he actually does when confronted with the forensic evidence at hand.

Why doesn't someone respond to that post of his with the link to the wikien-l screw up when his email to other editors to back up his editing of the Messianic Jews article, and ask him when he changed his position on tag-teaming?

You remember, the one he accidentally sent to the general mail list instead of his private mail list that he uses to coordinate with other editors.

WR has several threads discussing that incident.

Here's one — Messianic Jayjgism.

Because JayJG already knows that he's a phony, and he knows that he'll never have to answer for it. It would be something like pointing out to the Ku Klux Klan that their policies are racist.
