I'm new to DU and can't say I'm familiar with the ban controversy Judi Lynn just described; but I know this kind of chicanery happens because I have seen it happen to competent, hard-working editors on Wikipedia (not to mention real life, in one way or another). In at least two cases that I know of, editors were harassed and provoked in a concerted way by war/privatization apologists until they obtained the desired result (i.e. that of either waiting until the target breaks some arcane rule, or until he/she loses their temper).

If administrative staff here at DU ever decide to take a second look at ocpagu's ban, and an extra juror is required, I'll be happy to bone up on the case and vote on it if required.
