[Wikipedia-l] [Foundation-l] Indefinite block and desysopping by User:Danny

Wed Apr 19 21:04:46 UTC 2006

I understand that the indefinite ban was reverted by Danny and
reinstituted by dannyisme for 48 hours.

I don't believe Eloquence should receive a death sentence either.

Thank you for your explanation.  As an Arbiter, I have some slight idea
of how ... interesting ... situations can become, and I full support of
the OFFICE policy as a tool to use in handling those situations.

Can you explain the reasons why Eloquence must be prohibited from ever
editing the English Wikipedia again?  Danny is apparently using OFFICE
to justify what looks like a lifetime ban (something even the
Arbitration Committee cannot impose) that he refused to explain.

I can understand that the Foundation's obligations are greater than
loyalty to any one user.  Is it the case that the Foundation cannot
explain why this one user is being permanently banned with no
explanation of why he must be sacrificed?
