During the 2014 gun control arbcom, North8000 was found, among other things, to edit while logged, place undue weight on inappropriate material, and to fail to get the point. (diffs to follow) During a 2012 ANI discussion about North8000's behavior it was shown that he had a near obsession with describing "political correctness" as a pejorative. (diffs to follow)
- The Faceless Enemy account was created on 23 January 2010.
- The acount was fairly active through July 2010, and then its activity tapered off.
- 67 edits in 2011;
- 69 edits in 2012 (none in Nov/Dec);
- 8 edits in 2013 (editing in only 5 of 7 months);
- 2 edits in 2014.
- However, Faceless Enemy has already made 165 edits since January 1. (scroll down to "Month counts")
Faceless Enemy has made a few edits to the Gun show loophole article, including:
- 28 January 2015 Added the article to the categories American political neologisms and Dysphemisms.
- 28 January 2015 Added the word "political" to the lead sentence.
And 44 edits to the Gun show loophole talk page since January 25 (the past 7 days), including:
- Even though there were already discussions:
- "Gun show loophole": NPOV article title (started by Mudwater - 13:57, 27 January 2015);
- Gun show loophole (started at WP:NPOVN by Lightbreather - 23:34, 27 January 2015);
- RFC to rename article (also started by Mudwater - 01:21, 28 January 2015);
- Faceless Enemy proposed merging GSL and Universal background check - 01:13, 29 January 2015 - to create a new article (which then became a formal merge proposal) and then,
- only 2 1/2 hours later opened a move request - 03:47, 29 January 2015.
- 31 January 2015 Started new section Category:Dysphemisms
- 31 January 2015 Made statement: "Loophole" is certainly pejorative. For example, a more neutral and strictly factual term would be "private sale exemption." I'm not sure I've ever seen "loophole" used in a non-pejorative way.
- 1 February 2015 Replied with links to sources (not about gun shows) that, to Faceless Enemy, shows that "loophole" is a pejorative.
From gun control ArbCom:
- North8000 findings of fact:
- Editing while logged out seemingly to either avoid sanction and/or to escape scrutiny. (from evidence provided by Goethean)
- Soapboxing and battleground conduct by placing undue weight on inappropriate material in articles and by failing to get the point.
- It was also noted that "North8000 was topic-banned in the Tea Party case, and accepted a voluntary one-year topic-ban from Homophobia as his 'article talk page presence is problematic.'"
From ANI/North8000 discussion:
- FiachraByrne detailed North8000's insistence that a term is "pejorative." The reference is to talk-page discussions at the Political correctness article. Here are some related article and talk-page diffs:
- 18 September 2009 (in article subsection headed "In right-wing rhetoric") The most common meaning here is a perjorative term to refer to excessive deference to particular political sensibilities at the expense of other considerations.
- 00:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC) ... With the closest (albeit imperfect) thing to that in the WP article being: "a pejorative term to refer to excessive deference to particular sensibilities at the expense of other considerations" ...
- 16:31, 23 January 2011 I think that it is clearly a pejorative term referring to particular forms of behavior. Probably one of the few places in the article that actually says it is "The most common usage here is as a pejorative term to refer to excessive deference to particular sensibilities at the expense of other considerations." ...
- 20:40, 12 April 2011 Created a new section headed "POV?" with this comment: Addressing the edit summary with the recently placed POV tag, "Political Correctness" is a pejorative term, and the characterization of certain behaviors as such....
- 02:01, 23 August 2011 No strong opinion on the topic at hand, but to repeat one structural note, PC is is essentially an pejorative, promulgated term which posits that, in the discussed cases, the discussed otherwise-acceptable behaviors are, in this case, bad because they taken to an excessive degree....
