Well, it looks like Wikipediocracy got their wish. Eric the little weasel Corbett has their long awaited revenge.

That has to be one of the most disgustingly biased / hypocritical outcomes of a case I can ever recall.
The very idea that this is the currently enforced "higher standard" is laughable. It has been lowered specifically for ScottyWong, to achieve this specific objective (revenge), and it will be forgotten straight after the case concludes.
Very few of the current Admin corps, especially the exact sort of pieces of shit who didn't just make threats but actually used their tools as part of a deeply invested battle to fight for one side of the Eric Corbett wars (the losing side don't forget), would survive an Arbitration Case under these terms. But they would ALL pass RfA with flying colours.
Tellingly, the idea that Mr Squiggles was an LTA has been completely set aside here. Yet of course, for Eric Corbett and his enbalers, the tiniest hint that events were not as they appeared and something that appeared innocuous was in fact an attempt to goad, would be seized upon with much gusto.
Tellingly, any and all apologies and reflections by Scotty have been ignored. Crimes from decades ago are held against him now. But as any fool knows, the piece of shit Administrators who willingly did battle with Scotty as part of Team Eric, never once troubled themselves with the fact Eric NEVER reflected and NEVER apologised. He was unchanged to the very end.
And if you're minded to say, well, Eric was merely an editor, Scotty is an Admin. Fuck off with that shit. Eric's entire hatred of Administrators was precisely because he was upset that he was twice denied the role precisely because he didn't shy away from speaking his mind. He could see fine well that the people clever enough to not give a voice to their actions, like Floquenbeam, but had absolutely no qualms about abusing their tools and authority in pursuit of their strong views, they were granted the tools. And have them to this day.
Have they ever reflected, much less apologised, for the absolutely huge amounts of drama their doomed attempts at carving out an exception to policy for Eric produced? No. Their toxic legacy lives in, as the anger over the special status of EEng grows. It will manifest, in toxic ways.
Once again, Wikipediocracy demonstrate they are not observers and analysts. They are Wikipedians in every despicable way imaginable. Knee deep in the pig shit, full participation.
Scottywong should just retire, and then embark on a ten year long harassment campaign against Beeblebrox and Floquenbeam to expose the hypocrisy at their very core. Show them how revenge is really done.
