LB

Wow, I was surprised when I noticed your posting at ANI, but I really didn't think it would turn into the whirlwind it did. I have to admit, I'm a surprised by LB's block log too. Anyway, kind of hard to move forward at ANI when the person isn't around to reply, but it didn't look like it was leaning either way definitively.

Carrite

The off wiki stuff is extremely serious. User:Carrite is absolutely correct to bring it up in that manner (without diffs). It's the best way to address it without possibly victimizing innocent people and revictimizing one editor. He can't link to it on this site because it is outing but in this he is correct and it needs to see the light of day. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Hell in a Bucket: Oh, thanks. Haven't been following the case that much. Sorry for alleging it didn't exist. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 15:25, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Off-wiki harassment

Whether it is harassment or manufactured (at least one person seems to think the latter, though not me), it has happened and ArbCom are aware of it - you can see some arb comments knocking about. It is also at least reasonably deducible from the recent oversightings etc at the case pages and LB's own page. You need to drop this, I think. - Sitush (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
