The complaint raised in the message posted to my board was that Molemanninethousand's account was locked because GethN7 was harassing Molemanninethousand. I have found this, this, and this that appear to be relevant to this complaint. As these are all records of chats between Molemanninethousand and GethN7, I assume that they present both sides of the issue at hand equally and without bias.

The first discussion linked above shows that GethN7 did not begin interactions with Molemanninethousand on this wiki with any intent to harass; in fact, GethN7 supported Molemanninethousand in that issue.

The second discussion shows that Molemanninethousand disagreed with how GethN7 was handling the effects on All The Tropes of a quarrel on Wikia. GethN7's final statement in that discussion appears to me to be the relevant one: "That said, we shall end this conversation, and if you are willing to do so and continue reporting any outside mischief instead of responding to it yourself, then your future here will be generally safe so long as you abide by all other rules as well."

The third discussion states why GethN7 instituted a permanent block on the Molemanninethousand account. In short, Molemanninethousand was taking actions that only an administrator should have been taking, and when called on this behaviour, attempted to dictate terms to an administrator.

Having gone over the evidence that I am able to find...

My responsibility is toward All The Tropes as a whole, not to Wikia or ED or any single user.

I am not happy about an interpersonal dispute from Wikia being brought over to All The Tropes, and I am not happy that this became the focus of the discussion. What happens on Wikia should stay on Wikia.

I will not go and read Molemanninethousand's ED page. What happens on Encyclopedia Dramatica should stay on Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Again, the complaint was that Molemanninethousand's account was locked because GethN7 was harassing Molemanninethousand. The evidence that I have seen is that Molemanninethousand was harassing GethN7... but that is not the issue here.

I find it ironic that somebody who complained about another user creating sockpuppet accounts should create a sockpuppet account in order to request the lifting of a permaban... but that is not the issue here.

The issue here is that Molemanninethousand's account was locked for vigilante action, which by definition put the safety of All The Tropes at risk.

I am not inclined to reverse the ban at this time. If another administrator chooses otherwise based on additional evidence, I will not object.

EDIT: At this time, I will not lock the ContactDummyAnon as a duplicate of the Molemanninethousand account. However, once consensus is reached among the remaining administrators, I will suggest that the ContactDummyAnon account be locked. Molemanninethousand does not need two accounts here.
