[edit] Statement of complaint

As evidenced here [1] and in other commentary on that page, I believe Irismeister has returned to behavior that received censure from the AC earlier this year. I believe that, while I am sure I haven't been exuberantly friendly to Irismeister, I have not taken actions or spoken words that merit his recent treatment of me. If the AC disagrees, I am of course willing to accept its chastisement. I do not know what the procedure is for revisiting cases, and I know that his verbal attacks on me in the diff linked to above aren't the most egregious things ever spoken here, but I believe they are in violation of the AC's decision concerning personal attacks and Irismeister. Thank you for considering this matter -- Jwrosenzweig 17:41, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Statement by affected party

To Jwrosenzweig: Duh ! Get a life! - irismeister 18:09, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

Emergency, Mayday, Wiki Wiki
Mayday! The WikiRepublic is in danger! Wikipolice make their coup d'êtat! Please add your voice and come help John here wiki wiki. He is subject not only of personal attacks, this he is getting used to, but to a seven-months full blown campaign of character assasination - by SYSOPS. Look what they say here ! If you stand by your principles, sysops, and editors, it's time to act now. Thank you ! - Yours, - irismeister 17:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

[edit] Preliminary decision

[edit] arbitrator's opinions on hearing this matter

  1. Support accepting this for a short session on extending the ban on editing Iridology to Talk:Iridology and violation of personal attacks policy. This matter should also address Iridology enlisting other users such as Mr. Natural Health to evade our prior decree. Fred Bauder 19:11, May 19, 2004 (UTC)
  2. Accept - need to look at the various allegations of personal attacks being made around the place. Martin 23:23, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
  3. Accept - it looks like more of the same. --mav 14:53, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
  4. Accept - agree with Mav. James F. (talk) 10:16, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Temporary injunction

On 8 June 2004 a majority of active AC members voted to accept this preliminary ruling:

As User Irismeister has continued to engage in personal attacks following the mild sanction imposed in the previous proceeding concerning him, a ban on editing any article other than the pages concerning this arbitration and his user and user talk pages is imposed pending a final decision in this matter.

Following the interim ruling below, this temporary injunction is suspended. Martin 14:59, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Final decision

1) Irismeister has continued to engage in personal attacks and rude behaviour following the mild sanction imposed in the previous proceeding concerning him. This is in contravention of the no personal attacks policy and is bad wikiquette. For example:

Passed with six votes in favour, and none opposed.

2) Irismeister is again instructed to abstain from personal attacks and other breaches of Wikipedia etiquette, and placed on personal attack parole. Sysops are authorised to apply 24 temp-bans on Irismeister, at their discretion, if Irismeister breaches this instruction. Users are encouraged to remove personal attacks.

Passed with six votes in favour, and none opposed.
