I'm interested in anything beyond what's already been posted pertaining to myself (Judd Bagley or WordBomb) and Gary Weiss (primarily as Mantanmoreland, Samiharris, janeyryan or johnnyb256).

Did anyone ever request stuff on Geogre? That would have been early summer of 2009. Utgard Loki was his other name. There could be many residual items that would have come up throughout 2009.

I think Malice may have gotten a bit bored with us, since he's not so much the center of attention. You could probably give him some pointers, of course.

Dmcdevit was never a steward.

I stand corrected--he certainly acted like one.....
when he ran for the audit subcommittee, he neglected to mention why his CU power was yanked.
Same for when they gave his powers back in 2009. But I can't figure out why his CU was removed. Anyone?

Can't blame him. Hopefully we've not seen the last of him.



Was it released in the secret forum?

I don't know if anything new is being leaked (it appears that the leaker hasn't posted in the last few weeks) but...

I'm curious about a few strange episodes in arbcom history. I know that some of the mantanmoreland stuff and the omnibus case have been covered, but I'd like to know a few specific episodes (let me know if this stuff has already been talked about...I couldn't find anything after a few cursory looks):

- Discussions relating to Sam_Blacketer's infamous "Nothing to see here..." motion to dismiss after months of solid evidence and debate in the Omnibus case
- Discussions during the Mantanmoreland case where everyone went apeshit after some arbs inexplicably claimed that the entire sockpuppet episode was probably a year-long secret plot by Bagley, then only giving a vague proposed finding that a "majority of arbs" weren't convinced due to certain unnamed "confounding issues."
- Discussions following jpgordon's demand that jayvdb retire from clerk for daring to block internet warrior Tony_sidaway after he spent far too much time trolling the talk pages

Simply curious here, for I am just a caveman lurker.

Thank you.

the only part of that i will dispute is the word "ceaseless"

I understand that, despite being banned, I may request the opportunity to comment on this via email. I would like to make the following observations:

1. The tag-team of SlimVirgin and Will Beback has succeeded in controlling any mention of LaRouche at Wikipedia for five years now. Editors who questioned their edits were intimidated and, if plausible circumstantial evidence could be found, blocked as sock- or meatpuppets. They have flouted a whole array of core policies, but as far as the ArbCom is concerned, the most important relevant passage is the following from C68-FM-SV:

"Parties specifically instructed 2.(iv)": Editing by a party in conjunction with one or more other users in a fashion constituting or creating a reasonable perception of excessively coordinated editing or of seeking "ownership" of articles or policies.

2. SlimVirgin and Will Beback have changed their line regarding the article in question. When the controversy over this topic began in 2004, every search engine hit on the internet for the landbridge was to a LaRouche publication, so they claimed at that time was that there was no such thing as the Eurasian Landbridge, that it was strictly a LaRouche fantasy, and so there should be no article about it. Now that there are abundant non-LaRouche sources, their line is that it exists, but LaRouche had nothing to do with it. In order to pursue this line of argument, they resort to the sophist's trick of defining "mainstream sources" as being exclusively English-language sources. Since the landbridge is at present primarily an issue for Russia and Asian countries, it receives scant attention in the English-language press, which is preoccupied with the usual coverage of Tiger Woods and other priority topics. But as far as the rest of the world is concerned, LaRouche's role in the development and dissemination of the proposal is in fact being underplayed in the article as newly written by Cla68. One of the sources used in the article is Asharq al-Awsat, described by Wikipedia as "the leading Arabic international newspaper." In the cited article, there is a statement (not included by Cla68) that
Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of ideas of LaRouche in China and South Asia, as the spiritual father of the draft back to life the new Silk Road or the bridge Eurasia...
