Well, to be fair, I think he's just conflicted to the point where it
looks like he may be drunk. He's now having to defend the WMF, even more than they're willing to defend themselves, in order to advance his personal revenge-agenda against the admins. Not to mention all the stuff he's forcing himself to overlook about Laura Hale, while he just kinda-sorta
assumes there's plenty of well-written, positive, happy-happy-Wikipedians-all-getting-along material there that we're deliberately ignoring. (There really isn't.) So maybe it's no wonder that he now thinks you might be Fram (and folks please note, I can attest that none of Mr. Vigilant's posting IPs geolocate to Belgium or the Netherlands).
Normally I'd try to find areas of agreement with him, since (as I've often said) he often makes good points. I mean, I don't think there's much question that our focus on Dr. Hale's "wiki-history" and such would look mean-spirited or even cruel to an outside observer who's seeing it for the first time, or (obviously) to her friends and associates. But he's really reaching pretty far for this one - he's basically having to say, on a near-daily basis, that the WMF staff is a competent organization staffed with rational actors who know how perfectly well how to do their jobs and hold to their commitments. I almost feel sorry for him on that basis alone.
But I think he
knows he has a problem, because he's also posting things that make absolutely no sense to anyone who has read anything of his in the past, and the only reason he would do this (other than just to see if we'd notice) is that he
realizes he's gone too far. For a good recent example, check out
this post from the "Paddo Vigilant" thread:
Only a numbnuts could seriously come to the conclusion that Wikipedia doesn't work not because it cannot work (HTD!), but because the Lizard People are preventing it from working, for [insert whatever conspiracy theory motivator is his choice for the hour].
This from someone who has spent the last 4-5 years blaming the "Lizard People" for absolutely everything wrong with Wikipedia; there literally isn't a single person on the entire planet who has written more verbiage along the lines of "the WP system is fine, the fundamental concept is fine, the rules and procedures are all fine, it's the bad editors/admins who are to blame" than he has.
He's doing it right now. There's even the gratuitous insertion of "HTD" as if he thinks it will make him look more "moderate" - more like, say, me for example. But coming from him, the statement is just pure hypocrisy, to a point where it makes practically everything else he's written recently look suspect.
So sure, maybe it's alcohol - that would be better, actually - but I think he's just in over his head this time and can't admit it to himself.
