The chickens are coming home to roost

Hello, BS thing. Haven't seen any new piles of shit on the site for the last few days. Plenty of old ones, of course, though some have them have been shovelled up. Anyway, to business.

Recently, two of my long-time chums in the ACS wrote to the WikiMedia Foundation (WMF) and complained about you. WMF wanted to hear from me too so I obliged. Any number of complaints could have been made (incompetence, arrogance, etc.) but one of my friends is a retired solicitor and he advised us to focus on the most serious matter. That was libel. Or, at least, potential libel.

To cut a long story short, we have now heard from WMF that numerous edits by you have been suppressed. WMF are short of funds and are always begging for contributions (Mr Wales is currently asking IP visitors to donate the price of a cup of coffee) so they don't want someone suing them for libel. As I understand it, the contents of your edits were not reverted but the edit details and summaries no longer appear in page histories. I'm happy with that.

The people at WMF are not WP administrators, so they can't take direct action against you personally but it seems they have referred you to the ArbCom – they are admins and the ones who banned Lugnuts (wrongly, in my view). I don't know if ArbCom have contacted you. I gather it may be a long time before that happens as they don't discuss legal issues openly. I admit I don't know how it all works at that level but it will be interesting to see if a ban notice belatedly appears on your talk page sometime next year. I should imagine your actions from now on will be monitored so, taking one imminent event into consideration, you may be well advised to leave WP:IPL alone and let them get on with it – WMF are aware of your, er, "comments" about Indian people and their culture.

Personally, I wasn't too bothered about your spiteful, jealous clap-trap because you've only succeeded in showing yourself up for what you are. Unlike you, I don't claim to be a brilliant writer or a subject matter expert or an oracle, but I'm confident that my prose could never descend to your execrable level and, equally, while I know quite a lot about my subject, I nearly always need to check my facts. But the ACS people are annoyed about you implicating them in your idiotic tantrums. I won't go into details because you would never understand. I do know that your recent rants about "murky histories" and "shenanigans" have stirred things up again, especially as there is considerable ACS interest in articles of the kind in question (it won't have occurred to you, but I get a lot of help from the ACS people when I write those articles). If you weren't so stupid you would have known when to back off (drop the stick as they say on WP).

This is a once-only post by this IP, of course. As soon as it's published, I'll reset the IP and be back shortly with the new one. Armed with a new shovel.

Have a nice day. Bye now.
