Thryduulf runs for Arbcom 2015 --- elected to 1 year in 2014

[Moral Hazard]

Thryduulf (T-C-L)/Chris McKenna (T-H-L) often is discussed at Wikipediocracy. He is running for Arbcom (2015), after having been elected to only one year in 2014.

Thryduulf (T-C-L) is one of the mattbuck (T-C-L)/russavia (T-C-L)/haiduc (T-C-L)/beta_m (T-C-L)crowd. There's never been a picture too vile for him to keep.

He may only regain the tools following a successful request at WP:RFA a minimum of six months after this case closes.

For a single, good faith, action in a highly divisive situation?
Even MONGO thinks Thryduulf's a dick about this.

Thryduulf is another longtime friend of Morwen.

Thryduulf was unhelpful dealing with the Indian diploma mill.

Thryduulf's excuse for not accepting the evidence here? That they can't guarantee the evidence won't magically change by the next day.

Whereas I am not comfortable with evidence presented in some external venue the Committee have no control over being used to judge someone's actions on Wikipedia. We have no guarantee that any evidence that allegedly exists at an external site will remain there, nor that what it says today will be the same as what it says tomorrow. If you want the evidence to be considered as part of this case, then it must be presented as part of this case. Thryduulf (talk) 17:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

I emailed the arbs to ask if I could send them a nicely formatted version of the evidence compiled here, carefully summarised with diffs, and in wiki format but they said they couldn't because if they posted evidence on behalf of someone, they would have to 'take ownership' of the contents, and that would put them in an impossible position.

I don't quite see why. In other cases outside Wikipedia, you know, real world, I have sent evidence by a third party which has been published with careful disclaimers that they are not taking ownership. So I don't follow.

Yesterday, I quoted Vigilant's comment on Thryduulf, who had blocked me for referring to Demiurge1000 (T-C-L)'s block log, in which he had been blocked for lying (by Mason / 28Bytes (T-C-L)).

Alluding to the mistakes of Worm That Turned, fellows, is amusing but perhaps unfair, since he has repeatedly apologized---which is more than one can say about e.g. arbitrator Thryduulf (T-C-L) (then a clerk):

You still appear to be making insinuations about Demiurge1000 (T-C-L), e.g. "Demiurge1000 immediately told the child how to go around the parental controls. In fact, he then continued emailing and IMing the boy, despite the parental objections (and indeed, at last, the boy's)." from approximately half an hour ago on this very page.

Thryduulf has plummeted in my estimation, since being elected. Thryduulf would be my vote for "most disappointing new arb".
Perhaps Thryduulf feels being elected to arbcom is some sort of success in life, and grants one powers of wisdom.
Perhaps Thryduulf is wrong.

You added:

But Thryduulf and others are just motherfucking disinformation spreaders, who actively and knowiingly helped Demiurge1000 to continue hanging out on Wikipedia for almost 2 years, and who have not even issued one word of self criticism.

If there were ever a more poignant example of a broken man-child on en.wp....

[Moral Hazard]

Thryduulf's latest claim to fame is his high standard for taking action against the sexual harassment of a woman editor. Please compare his different standard when his friend Morwen was involved with somebody reading a twitter feed (above).

I've got no idea why it takes two months to ban a long-term combative pain-in-the-ass, content warrior, and shit-stirrer or not; and to turn over details of her repulsive harasser to WMF for the inevitable SanFranBan that will follow...

From the Proposed decision talk page:

Lightbreather has been receiving abusive emails and having fake images of herself posted on porn sites. We (arbitrators and functionaries) have been and are conducting extensive and detailed investigations into these issues - and these investigations are one of the principle reasons for the length of time this case has taken. We have indefinitely blocked multiple accounts as a result of these investigations, but it has to date not been possible for us to identify the person (or persons) responsible for the images on porn sites with the standard of proof required to take action. We have been sharing the information we have as a result of our investigations with the WMF, but as of the most recent time they advised us of the progress of their independent investigation they to had not been able to identify anybody to the standard of proof they required to take action. It must also be borne in mind that the ultimate sanction that we can hand out is an indefinite ban from the English Wikipedia. We have no powers over what any person does on any place on the internet or what emails anybody sends (other than those sent using the email user facility on the English Wikipedia). We (the arbitration committee) are unable to take any legal actions regarding any harassment received or perpetrated by Wikipedians, for example we do not have the power to require any site to take down any content they host - we can ask but if the site involved says "no" there is nothing more we can do. Thryduulf (talk) 00:18, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom's standard for action and San Francisco's are probably not the same, of course.

Updated: McKenna's stance was not a one-time mistake:

I cannot believe you guys elected this cowpat to ARBCOM

The female editor in question should also report the matter privately to the person's employer/sponsoring institution so that appropriate disciplinary action can be taken, and to the WMF (and local chapter if relevant) so that all parties are aware. It is also the case that allegations of harassment (or other misconduct for that matter) against someone does not permit the outing of that person. Thryduulf (talk) 10:10, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Even if you commit a crime, the victim may not unmask the en.wp account of the perpetrator. Got it.

I also thinks it's terribly chickenshit that ARBCOM required some sort of unanimity when they could have posted something like

14. Scalhotrod sexually harassed Lightbreather off-wiki.

and put it to a vote.

Let's see where the chips fall.

Reading this:

"The female editor in question should also report the matter privately to the person's employer/sponsoring institution so that appropriate disciplinary action can be taken, and to the WMF (and local chapter if relevant) so that all parties are aware.

Where are all the cries of outrage, here and on Wiki?
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=6365&p=145493&hili ... lf#p145493

had we been able to conclusively connect the perpetrator to a Wikipedia account that action would have been taken (almost certainly a site ban). Thryduulf (talk) 09:16, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

That's just feeble.

Thrydull aka Chris McKenna said he was unconvinced that it's the same person and holds out that it might be a coincidence or 'joe job'.

Lightbreather tells us that she has sent us all the evidence she has and I have also seen the evidence dug up by the functionaries' and arbitrators' investigations. Lightbreather mentioned she has shared some of the evidence she has on Wikipediocracy - i.e. unless she has presented new evidence at WO (in which case why has she not sent it to us?) it is a subset of what I have seen, but I do not know what subset that is. At first glance the evidence is pretty convincing, but when you actually look closely, particularly at the links between locations, the evidence is not, in the opinion of most (but not an absolute majority) arbs and functionaries, strong enough to rule out coincidences and/or joe jobs. Thryduulf (talk) 20:53, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

That position is so far from a conclusion that anything with a functioning nervous ganglia would come to that I am unsure how Chris continues to exchange gasses without external mechanical assistance.
He may even bump Risker off her perch as the dumbest person to ever serve on ARBCOM.

I'm glad you included a link to that topic, K. It's worth a quick click for anyone considering re-electing Thryduulf, to recall how knee-jerk resistant he was to the evidence that exposed the "Indian Faker", because of its origins at the BADSITE.

Right off the bat, here's one of my problems with Thryduulf. He's an admin and arb with a "This user enjoys contributing to Wikipedia without wearing clothes" box on his user page. And that box, of course, links to the Nudity (T-H-L) article with, of course, photos. Honestly, if you want to edit nude, fine, but I don't want to read an advertisement about it.

[Moral Hazard]

I never understood why Thryduulf was upset about Scott / Hex regaining his administrator tools.

If that's the TL;DR version, I assume the brief version was something like "Idiots. Yes, you."

Heh, no, I meant that was the TL;DR summary.

It's now 23 hours since Thryduulf said "there are questions we want Scott's answers to" and 22 hours since I emailed them - without even an acknowledgement that they've read it. Any bets how long it will take them to say anything? Or let me know what those questions are, or what the "evidence" is.

Meanwhile, critical comments are starting to pile up at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard (T-H-L).

Edit:

We have explained everything we can currently publicly explain already. When we make a decision we will probably be able to explain more. Thryduulf (talk) 21:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

"Probably". Hmm.

Perhaps I could have been more clear.
People who obsessively edit wikipedia in a single area have a high degree of overlap with OCD and autistic people.

Yeah Thryduulf is just another example of a little antisocial child who became an admin, finally got some power and does whatever they want to whomever they want with impunity. They got to be an Arb for a year and it was arguably the worst Arbcom ever, its time for them to move on and go do some edits that actually improve the project.

The original photograph is from a staged session, true. However, the picture lacks a model-consent form.

For obvious reasons, I did not investigate every picture involving Thryduulf and a deletion discussion on Commons.

It may be that one of the autofellatio images concerns a Swiss avante-guard band, influenced by Kraftwerk and The Beautiful South, and its album about the harms of car emissions.

If I made a mistake in describing Thryduulf's particular interests in BJ pictures, then please alert us so that I should again acknowledge my error.

Or maybe you've read something he's written on a noticeboard or at ArbCom. You click on his name to learn a little about him and he wants you to know that he likes to edit nude. Now you've go to sweep whatever picture that thought plants in your brain. Ugh.

This. Absolutely this.

Also, if I was feeling mean I could embed a photo of Thryduulf here. Luckily, I'm not.

You tease. I thought you had a nude one.

Imagine him nude, going over the Avrgguy01/Scalhotrod evidence during the LB case. Creepy, no? (Like I said, I think of the South Park "Security Breach" guy.)

I dunno. It's your imagination, not mine, despite your detailed "instructions". Does sound creepy, though maybe not in the way you intended...

Like I said, if people want to edit in the nude, fine, but advertising it is TMI in a collaborative environment.

No matter whose 'side' someone is on, making fun of their appearance is unkind.
Let's try not to do that, please.

[Michaeldsuarez]

I'll always remember Thryduulf as the guy who became obsessed with trying to have Stefan4 banned and refused to allow a thread about Stefan4 to be put to rest. Why are Wikipedians electing people who are utterly incapable of letting bygones be bygones to a conflict resolution body?

[Oblia]

I can't speak for others but want to make my own point clear. This isn't about someone's appearance. It's about someone who's in a position to help or hurt others telling them that he likes to do so while naked. It's creepy, even scary to some.

Yes, scary. It's not scary to me at this time, only creepy. But there are circumstances under which it could be scary (or maybe intimidating would be a better word) to me and to others. Vigilant, you can be scary. Should I leave WPO?

I'm saying that if imagining a fetid basement dweller naked due to an infobox on his wikipedia homepage actually scares you then you should turn off your computer and go outside. The internet is not for you.

Doesn't that conflict resolution body hand out lifetime bans? How would that work if it were composed of people prepared to let bygones be bygones?

Admiration? A desire to see their worst flaws reflected in the highest body? Eric often brings up the fact he was once blocked for calling people sycophants as a way to fight back against admin/s. This happened so long ago it often totally confuses admins who are attempting to separate him from whoever he's fighting with, since they were often not even a user on Wikipedia at the time, let alone an admin, and he never ever gives context for these cryptic breakouts of snark. Rather than telling him to knock it off, his admin supporters gleefully cheer him on, while of course berating everyone else who doesn't like Eric, for the crime of never letting things go. Like the number of times he's been blocked in 2015.

Here is the problem I have. People like to rail on Eric for his swearing but no one seems to care about insults from admins like Floquenbeam; suggestions to out people to their employer from AGK and NewYorkBrad; Utter incomptence from admins like Chillum/HighinBC and AGK and problematic editors with very long histories of abuse like BeyondMyKen. So as long as the community and admn corps continue to ignore problems like those, or even reward that conduct, then they amount to nothing more than a bunch of hypocrits and deserve what they get.

It really is unfortunate though, because in the end the project suffers by the community and the admins incompetence and flagrant abuse of the rules and that to me is the biggest shame in all of this.

You got me! Thanks.

Although...

The book, The International Conference Education and Creativity for a Knowledge based Society, discusses how French law no 11/1991 and the law of 17th March 1909 both extensively discuss "stock-and-trade". It's in the section by Smaranda Angheni, PhD. - Titu Maiorescu University.

For all intensive purposes, you know.

Frankly, though, Wikipedia has Wikipediocracy and now, maybe, a forum is necessary to "shine a light of scrutiny" into your "dark crevices." You seem to be every bit as bad as the Jimmy Wales that lives in your head.
