WIKIPEDIA GANG OF ADMINS SILENCING AN EDITOR

Josh Gordon had been asked respectfully and appropriately to recuse himself after admitting in his dishonorable and bias review that he hadn't actually reviewed the facts of it, and instead complained pathetically and inappropriately about the woes of being a volunteer. What might have then happened if Josh Gordon could have found it within himself to do right by recusing himself? He could have ensured a different and good devoted UTRS appeal reviewer stepped in. Maybe that new appeal reviewer without a conflict of interest would have been the needed saving hero. He or she might have even posted official reprimands to all the abusive admins involved. Perhaps, he or she would have stripped Jim F. Bleak and SarekofVulcan's adminships on the damn spot as an example to all others thinking about treating an editor like that.

We'll never truly know what it is that might have happened because what actually happened next in this finale of the saga proves that the corruption has permeated every last level of the encyclopedia. There's no independent neutral source of authority dedicated to solely policing the powerful admins like Jim F. Bleak and SarekofVulcan the way they need to be. The only thing that would seem to be plausible at preventing these seemingly hopeless situations is if there were an independent Wikipedian internal affairs unit that did nothing but monitor admins for abuse of power.

Josh Gordon wouldn't admit his wrongdoing and recuse himself appropriately. Instead, the UTRS admin immediately complained to the Wikipedian Serious Incident board with a conflicted and bias escalation. It of course included a link to RandyKnott's talk page and a basic message to deal with him. Well, it was a serious incident alright, but not in the way that the admin gang surely meant. RandyKnotts now awaited a swift and dark judgement as he sat in the cue of Wikipedia's most serious offenders.

Like lightening, two admins from the Serious Incident board, with only a few more coy words muttered, took brutal and equally unfair action against RandyKnotts. Top admins Voorts the New York lawyer and Rsjaffe also known as Dr. Rory Jaffe simply confirmed editor RandyKnott's fate. They showed no emotion and absolutely no interest in any of the wrongdoings documented and expertly detailed. Wikipedian admins put the final and painful nail in his coffin when they instantly removed RandyKnott's TPA (talk page access). The editor would statistically never edit again on Wikipedia, and maybe several hundred other people wouldn't either for no other reason than they had the wrong IP address.
