it's not a wiki witchhunt to assign someone to a Sysop Vandal point of view faction based on their selection of (crappy, inaccurate) sources for articles they republish on CH or whoever

-Recyclopedia was [[vandalbotted]], and either [[slashdotted]] or [[hacked]] or intimidated by [[Wikimedia]] out of existence after that, depending on who you believe.  So evidently someone doesn't want this issue discussed too openly.
+'''Recyclopedia is down and there are numerous conspiracy theories floated by trolls about it.''''
+:There is extremely strong circumstantial evidence that [[Wikimedia]] and [[MediaWiki]] promoters were directly involved in [[vandalbot]] attacks just before the final [[denial of service attack]].  It is not clear whether this is what discouraged Recyclopedia's founder from continuing, but it seems likely.  This is far more valid than a "conspiracy theory".
+If you want to know more about it, the more anarchist [[Recyclopedia]] studies it, so see their article on it: *http://recyclopedia.info/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=wiki_witchhunt
+:Woops censored by [[sysop vandalism]] via [[denial of service attack]] via [[vandalbot]] via Tim... ooh let's not go there.
+-------------
+Seems it ''is'' happening here, with emergence of articles like [[Craig Hubley]].  How should [[Consumerium:We|we]] respond?
+Is it really the case that someone can write lies about [[Craig Hubley]] but they cannot tell the truth about [[Gus Kouwenhoven]], at [[Consumerium]]?  If so what good is it?
+--------------
+It seems entirely reasonable to assume that someone is from a [[faction]] espousing [[Sysop Vandal point of view]] if they dredge up old junk articles that have no credibility at all and republish them here after they've died and started to rot.  That is neither [[New Troll point of view]] nor is calling someone an advocate of that [[SVpov]] a [[wiki witchhunt]]:  there has been no attempt at [[outing]] or even relating the whole thing to an overall strategy by the [[Wikipedia]] [[sysop power structure]].
