It must not have gone unnoticed that the very recent cases of "admin abuse" accusations regarding the blocks of Giano and Mongo are (more than superficially) similar in many respects - but that some people who supported or opposed the block of one took the opposite view of the other.
More than a couple of editors who pointed to MONGO's many thousands of good edits were unimpressed by Giano's contributions when it comes to enacting Arbcom Enforcement, while there are those who noted MONGO's penchant for incivility over the years were more relaxed about Giano's testing the limit of his Arbcom sanction.
Mind you, what is most interesting is Giano's support for MONGO - well, more the opposition to supposed admin abuse by Tango - and the numbers of MONGO's support team who have turned out in decrying Giano's block. There are a few names that may have been a surprise to some outsiders, but careful consideration should provide an obvious answer; very few of the political players of WP are stupid, and most would have instinctively realised that they could not oppose one party and support the other without appearing hypocritical. Of course, an argument can be made for supporting the block of MONGO and yet seeking the lifting of one on Giano - but it would likely involve a argument phrased in subtleties that would have been drowned by the noise and heat currently being generated.
I would also like to advertise my services as a fortune teller - about my second or third comment on the MONGO block was that any tariff of more than a couple of hours was going to bring about the usual pro-MONGO and never mind what the rules say crowd - and probable non-consensual lifting of the block.
I'm not altogether unrelieved that that the Giano block and resultant debate kicked off just as I was retiring for the night.
