When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient.

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Bucking consensus
My first batch of evidence is going to pertain to Rex071404's continued attempt to buck a consensus on the John Kerry article. The consensus on this part of the article came about over a year ago. This is how it reads:

"During this encounter, Kerry suffered a shrapnel wound in the left arm above the elbow. Later, medical staff removed the shrapnel and applied a bacitracin dressing. The next day, with Kerry's arm bandaged, he returned to regular Swift boat patrol duty."

Mr. Tibbs already documented all of Rex's attempts to change it to read "minor wound" or insisting that applying bacitracin is not a bandage. I'm going to focus on the continued bucking of the consensus. Several votes have been taken to end the debate. The point is that it has prevented any other discussion on the issues.


 * 00:20, 9 November 2005
 * - End of vote to end debate, which Rex071404 clearly lost. And this demonstrates how he tries to muddle votes by basically making up voting categories.


 * 01:24, 9 November 2005
 * - Rex lost the vote unanimously and yet still insisted that a consensus had not been reached. As you can see, a stop sign template was constructed to show Rex that it was time to move on.


 * 00:56, 9 November 2005
 * - Even though it had been barely an hour since consensus was established by the vote (and admin Titoxd had unprotected the article for that reason. See here. ), Rex put it up for another vote to determine whether what was just determined as consensus was really consensus!


 * 04:09, 12 November 2005
 * - Yet another vote to end discussion was proposed. Even though he had already lost a previous vote and had been warring with everyone else since (apx. 200 posts between the 2 votes and every one was trying to push his POV despite the consensus), he claimed that the 2nd vote was invalid.


 * 21:36, 13 November 2005
 * - On November 13th, another vote was called. It was the last one that Rex participated in. There was another vote called on the 14th but that's when he attacked me and then went into exile. This time, he labeled the vote as an "invalid final vote" and then made a statement:

"Jtdirl says "Your view on the issue is irrelevant". Indeed, this has been clear for some time. Be advised however, that my editors rights are in full force and I will not agree to waive them on the basis of a vote for stasis."

Again, this is after consensus had been established not once, but twice and was about to be established for a 3rd time.

Rex's odd behavior
This is evidence involving Rex's possible use of sockpuppets. The evidence is circumstantial in that a checkuser showed that it was not definitely Rex, but as I showed in my original statement on this matter, when I was visciously attacked a few days ago, it was while Rex was absent and it was also right after I had revealed his gaming tactics on the Kerry article. The evidence...


 * 22:00, 13 November 2005
 * [] - My post accusing Rex of gaming the system


 * 00:03, 14 November 2005
 * - Rex's unusual post on the Price-Anderson Act article.


 * 00:11, 14 November 2005
 * - The appearance of the first sockpuppet, Anonrtgtt


 * 00:32, 14 November 2005
 * - Rex's last post before the vandals hit (on the George W. Bush military service controversy article)


 * 04:02, 14 Movember 2005
 * - The return of Rex. He removed my valid accusations from his talk page.
