Yup, it's kind of clear at this point that this is the "Case That Nobody Really Wanted to Have". There have been no major disputes in the topic area since the 2021 Jehochman fiasco. Most people, except of course Icewhiz, have moved on. This is why almost all the "Evidence" provided so far is either a) ancient stuff from like 2019 (K.e.coffman) or b) stuff from after the case opened/G&k paper came out (basically post Feb 10th 2023) - people reacting to the paper and the Arb Com case in one way or another. And it's pretty weak-sauce (GCB posted too many diffs on WP:AE!) or some editors trying to piggy-back their own idiosyncratic and unrelated grudges on the case (Gitz6666).charliemouse wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 8:00 pmI think Piotrus hits the nail on the head here. This gets to my reservations about this whole thing. Nobody has an active complaint about anyone else.

The bird's eye view of the topic area is roughly as follows:
Up to mid 2019 - Icewhiz. Culminates in the 2019 ArbCom case. Topic bans then Icewhiz starts harassin' and sock puppetin'
Late October 2019 up to mid 2021 - Icewhiz socks all over the place. Like a ton of them (at least a few dozen). At least half the AE reports and good number of RSN discussions initiated by his socks. And if not initiated then dominated. All the disputes from this period have to do in some way or another with his socks.
Then 500/30 kicks in
Second half of 2021 - Jehochman's Request for a Case and all the crap about Haaretz article/List of Hoaxes. Icewhiz sock puppetin' on those "List" articles and Icewhiz in touch with Jehochman who resign his tools. BTW, this G&K paper here? Basically an attempt by Icewhiz to redo that whole sorry episode.
2022 - quiet. People moved on. Icewhiz ran out of auto confirmed sock puppets. Non-autoconfirmed ones get quickly reverted and blocked. 500/30 does what it's supposed to. Icewhiz supporters on Wiki have no sock puppets to tag team with. Controversy dies out.
And here we are.
