• I'd like to see a bit more juicy dramah in the arb report, eg.

  Malleus dropped the C-Bomb and got indef blocked by Thumperward for "long-term in civility". After being unblocked by John, the block was reinstated by Hawkeye7. Arbcom accepted the case, unusually skipping the RFCU prerequisite as one "unusually divisive among Administrators". Malleus' supporters are defending his use of the C-word and allege wheel warring by Hawkeye7, while Malleus' detractors are calling for him to be permanently banned.

  That sort of thing. --Surturz (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

• Eh, with a dispute as divisive as this, I thought it wise to keep to raw facts as much as possible. Didn't want to risk something read by many appear as I was taking sides. Steven Zhang ^{Join the DR army!} 08:03, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

• Not all Malleus' detractors are calling for him to be banned. Many just want the civilty question (What is/what isn't) to be resolved and a tangible guideline put in place. Buster Seven Talk 07:36, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

• I wonder if anyone noticed that the Muhammad workshop is approaching 1MB. I wonder if that's a record relative to other arbitrations. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 19:31, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Anybody that has spent wasted 30 minutes or an hour reading the Talk page of Muhammed is not surprised in the least. This whole case is about a handful of ultra-disruptive POV warriors who obfuscate with walls of prose in order to drive off opponents and defeat consensus. It will end with strict topic bans of the disruptionists, or it will not end at all. Carrite (talk) 05:03, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
