Surely [[WikiIndex]] editors should not use article space and admin abilities to pursue grudges about incidents at other [[wiki]]s.  I have requested administration on this issue [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Category_talk:Active_administrators_of_this_wiki&diff=next&oldid=66868 here.]  [[User:213.106.29.88|213.106.29.88]] 09:16, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

I have never seen such an incoherent edit comment, from an admin, or anyone, for that matter.  Admin abuse procedures will proceed.  PC is pursuing a personal vendetta and using admin powers to protect her edits. [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 02:47, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
