Troubling actions by Retartist

Falsely accused TheRedPenOfDoom of vandalizing Draft:Gamergate controversy, based on TRPoD's reversion of the removal of half a quote. While the quote's value is debatable, there is little reason to call the return of half of it "a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages" (WP:VAN).

Retartist's placement of TRPoD's reversion in evidence immediately after the vandalism accusation: . Retartist identified the quote as an "attack quote."

Overall, there is some evidence to support his reply.

This.

As a side note: I am aware that there have been concerns given about Retartist's attempts to start dispute resolution processes. While I see no problem with them (trying to calm matters down is good), I think it is best to clearly put them on record. Retartist started a request for mediation and a dispute resolution noticeboard section (now located here).
