Now, TO THE ANALYSIS BUS!1
Hmm. Interesting concept. How are you measuring dedication here? OH, are there annual Awards by which we may judge how community members are viewed? Obviously by their fellow editors, we know you folks don't care so much for what outsiders think of you.So, we've already lost one of our most dedicated editors
If such a thing existed, let's call them THE WIKIS, would Jytdog really get nominated in the "Most Dedicated Editor" category?
This is an easy one. NOT EVEN JYTDOG AGREES THE REASON HE IS LEAVING IS FOR THE SINGULAR ACT OF MAKING A PHONE CALL. So fuck off., for phoning someone?
In whose opinion? Are you so stupid as to judge intent to harass, from the person doing it? While most seem prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, a significant number of respondents have made it clear they think the intent was to perform a deliberate act of intimidation. And the person he called seems to think so too. What say you to that? Oh right, NOTHING. Never happened. Doesn't matter. Fuck off.Not with the intent to harass, but with the intent of maintaining the integrity of the project?
Don't make threatening or abusive phone calls to your fellow editors, especially if you have to work to find their contact details, is Wikipedia policy. I am surprised you didn't know this, Mr WIKIPEDIA ADMINISTRATOR. Can I expect your resignation in the morning? Or at the least, a reconfirmation RfA, so that we might know whether your fellow editors continue to trust your ability or willingness to uphold policy? Or course I can't. I know: fuck off.Which is not actually a violation of policy?
What, an admission from the same guy who keeps making mistakes and promising not to repeat that specific mistake? Did you pick up on that element of the discussion from Arbs and commenters? Or are you just deliberately ignoring it?After he repeatedly admitted that it was a mistake that he would not repeat?
At the time you wrote this, he was not even blocked. Now that he is, the reasons are not secret, they have been stated plainly - enacting the publicly available Arbitration motion. Resolving cases by motion is entirely within their remit, so where is the over-reach? You are surely not just making shit up and spreading false accusations about Wikipedia's highest office holders, are you, Mr. Administrator?Blocking/banning in this context for "secret reasons" comes across as an absurd overreach,
And since that motion made no statement of his guilt, and indeed leaves it entirely open as to whether he will even be facing a case if he ever returns, it seems rather extraordinarily generous. As I'm sure you know, or maybe your incompetence extends to not knowing, other editors have been tried by ArbCom in their absence, both by motion and in a full case.
Oh no, poor Jytdog. You do get that he walked away voluntarily? So, really, fuck off with this shit.please be transparent and accountable to the community and at least have the common decency to explain why you could possibly feel the need to apply this final indignity.
The public facts are that he was so incensed that a Wikipedia editor wouldn't listen to him, he took it upon himself to find the person's telephone number, which they hadn't published on Wikipedia in any context, much less an explicit invitation to contact, and by his own admission, had an angry exchange, which according to the other party, was derogatory and left them feeling alarmed and intimidated. Hard to think of a more serious offence, really, outside of criminal acts. So, we can expect your resignation when exactly?Examining the public facts, this wasn't the most serious offense
Feel free to block them all then, Mr. Administrator. You have the power, acting as or on behalf of a lynch mob is against Wikipedia policy. I think, anyway. If it isn't, is that a problem for you?, and it kind of appears that Arbcom is being influenced by a lynch mob. Swarm talk 06:25, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Just another billy bullshitter, howling at the Moon. As a Wikipedia Administrator.
HEY WIKIPEDIA. YOU NEED BETTER ADMINISTRATORS.
This one at least, seems to be broken.
