| You think someone using 40 proxies is not worth worrying about? We have behavioral evidence in the form of the AfD comments on known socking paid editor's AfDs. If Elen can confirm that all or most of the IPs are from the same subnet, then close it I guess, otherwise if they are scattered all over the world, I think it would be very naive to not assume that someone with access to so many proxies would be able to dodge a checkuser with careful management of their resources. ] (]) 20:58, 29 October 2012 (UTC) | |||

| I don't understand something about the reason you and the other arbitrators are giving for deciding to not make the interaction bans two-way. Most of the arbitrators who voted to decline Cla68's request for a case said in their comments this doesn't require a case because ArbCom could address it by motion instead. Now in your comment , you say that you oppose making a decision by motion because the decision shouldn't be made without evidence being presented as can only be done in a case. | |||

| I said in my ] on the request page that I would ''like'' ArbCom to open a case, and if they do I am ready to present evidence that all five of the one-way interaction bans should be two-way. The reason I can't present more evidence is that ArbCom decided to address the request by motion instead, although now they also are rejecting the motion because they think any decision should require evidence in a case! If ArbCom rejects option A in favor of option B, and then also rejects option B because any decision should require option A, that brings new meaning to the phrase "paralysis by indecision". I sincerely hope ArbCom will have a better reason than this for deciding to take no action, if that is what they decide. ] (]) 01:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC) | |||

| : I cannot control my colleagues' enthusiasm for motions over full cases, but perhaps you might find more success in persuading ''me'' if you publish at least a sample of evidence that supports making the bans bidirectional. At the moment, I see basically no evidence to support amending the bans, which is why I have opposed both the motion and the opening of a full case. If you were to substantiate your argument, perhaps I might support at least one of the two outcomes. Regards, ] ]] 01:16, 5 November 2012 (UTC) | |||

In TDA's case, it exists because Mathsci followed TDA to several discussion that had nothing to do with Mathsci or R&I in order to criticize him. (, , , ) In three of those four cases, Mathsci brought up his R&I related gripes with TDA even though the discussions had nothing to do with that topic, and in the last case it was in an AE thread that had nothing to do with me, TDA or Mathsci at all. When Mathsci brought us up in that thread, TDA and I were not having anything to do with him. The Devil's Advocate's statement gave some examples of the false accusations Mathsci made about him after bringing him up there, such as that The Devil's Advocate had claimed Mathsci was misrepresenting his medical condition, while TDA in fact claimed no such thing.

| ::In my statement I also linked to , which explains the cause of the conflict between Mathsci and SightWatcher and TrevelyanL85A2. In their case it was because Mathsci continued to attack them in arbitration discussions at a time when Trevelyan had stayed away from Misplaced Pages for the past four months, and SightWatcher had avoided Mathsci and R&I articles for the past year. This can be verified looking at the history of their contributions. When Mathsci began attacking them both in ] in May, Trevelyan had made no edits since January, and SightWatcher had made none related to Mathsci or R&I since May 2011. SilkTork warned Mathsci about this , but Mathsci responded by calling SilkTork's warning "trolling". ] is the word for what people like Echigo Mole do. | |||

| ::Looking at the history of amendment requests on , it seems things like this have been happening for around two years, and they seem to always go the same way. The pattern is that Mathsci initiates a conflict by going out of his way to provoke another editor who's been avoiding him, and in the resulting conflict it is the other editors who get punished. Sometimes arbitrators have admonished or warned Mathsci about it (he also was admonished for it by an in May), but his response to SilkTork suggests he considers these warnings invalid. I think if ArbCom does nothing to break this cycle, the same thing will continue to happen again and again. But if ArbCom could turn the five one-way interaction bans into two-way bans (Mine, TDA's, Cla68's, TrevelyanL85A2 and SightWatcher's), it would set a helpful precedent that the next time Mathsci provokes an editor who isn't doing anything to him, the interaction ban should cover them both, not just the other person. | |||

Professor marginalia has already indicated similar problems with this account on the RfAr page.

Hello, stranger!
Hi, Arcticocean,
No, nope, nah, nyet, it's not going to work. Go back to your former name! You know us long-time editors don't adapt well to changes, especially small ones.
Any way, in case you have indeed transitioned to a new identity, I hope I'll run into you on this project in the future (in a positive way, I mean). Just spend some time working on some subject that brings a smile to your face. And stay away from noticeboards. Take care, Liz 06:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
