[edit] Hearsay and out-of-context statements

• Comrade_Nick: lir wanted to ruin you
• Snowspinner: I imagine he still does. I think he'd have a tough time of it.
• Comrade_Nick: he wanted to nomate you so no one will vote for you

• Comrade_Nick: adam (lir) wanted me to vandalize your page guanaco when you banned his editing saddam hussein account
• Comrade_Nick: he wanted me to repalace you bottle fed lamb with cock fed lamb...

This is clearly hearsay. It is not admissible as evidence. (NOTE: This is King_Lear's post WhisperToMe 20:43, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC))

This is not a court of law. There are no standards of evidence. The arbitration committee can decide to reject this as hearsay if they like, or they can not. Snowspinner 14:53, Jul 7, 2004 (UTC)

Snowspinner is correct. Obviously I'm slightly wary around hearsay evidence, but #wikipedia is heavily logged, and I'm sure someone will be able to prove Snowspinnders' comments inaccurate or out-of-context if they are so. Martin 17:17, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Lir: RickK is a sockpuppet
• Lir: and Snowspinner is a lap dog
• Lir: *arfarf*

• Lir: ill fight rick if i ever meet him in real life

It is likely that these statements have been taken out of context.

Plenty of people log IRC. I invite any of them to look at those statements and tell the arbitration committee if I took them out of context, providing the missing context as needed. Snowspinner 14:53, Jul 7, 2004 (UTC)
