text: Firstly, the above comment violates AGF, NPA and who knows what else. Secondly, speaking from my own personal knowledge of the user, he's not a threat to anyone unless threatened. Thirdly, such completely groundless judgemental statements aren't helping anyone. At the risk of offending, don't speak like you know the situation inside and out when you don't. //DCL 209.87.224.188 00:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Completely uninvolved.
A private email discussing personal issue is a really crappy reason for nathanr to be banned.  Sceptre's done this before.  The block also caused him many oppose votes on his latest RfA, if I remember correctly.
That said, I think a lot of pointless drama and unpleasantness can be avoided if "nathanrdotcom" is blocked forever and "Nathan", that is, the man behind the account, is allowed to simply create a new account and edit normally.  As in, disassociated with the old identity.  Miltopia 03:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Statement by Miltopia

message: I echo what Miltopia said above.  I am not an involved party, and I will not be contributing evidence.  While Wikipedia operates with the (unofficial) policy involved in administrative decisions edit are to take place on-wiki, private correspondence seems to have taken place involved in both imposing and removing the block.  This is not an investigation that can be handled without the arbitration committee evaluating and deciding on the evidence.  It starts private, it ends private.  What I do request is a detailed explaination of what is decided without violating privacy as the acceptance of a "private" discussion will demand the accountability placed on arbitrators.  This statement may be applied to the above request concerning the admin IRC channel.  Best of it to you all, Teke (talk) 05:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd like to point out that it was one of The Halo's (and Snopake's) siblings who posted NDC's full name, address and 
phone number on a certain Wikipedia attack site (violating several privacy laws while doing so). In my opinion, NDC's 
feelings of "an eye for an eye" were well justified. 209.87.224.188 03:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have neither seen this case before nor I was involved. However, I believe that every case shall be handled openly and not in closed chambers. Arbitration committee is accountable to its action as well, backdoor decisions on a free, open encyclopedia would diminish wiki's credibility. No offense. This is just my personal opinion.
