, 03:33, 21 January 2012→Gwen Gale - a bully administrator
#was blocked at 20:56, 9 November 2011. Another admin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwen_Gale/archive20#Why.3F questioned the block, saying in particular "I don't think BLP concerns are a carte blanche for disregarding AGF like this and especially not BITE since we can't expect newcomers to understand these complex policies within their first 10 edits. I would appreciate if you would be more polite and welcoming towards new editors in the future, and not be as quick with the block-hammer, if you feel you don't have the patience for giving adequate explanations to a newcomer feel free to contact me and I'll gladly take over"], but Gwen failed to clarify her position.

===Gwen Gale is dishonest and untruthful===
I have discussed above how Gwen Was making untruthful statements in her RfA,how she failed disclosing a sock account "The Witch" she used in her introductory statement for arbcom election. Here's another striking example of dishonesty and untruthfulness demonstrated by the user:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwen_Gale/archive5#Your_Block_on_User:Southerndata This thread is about yet another bad block imposed by Gwen Gale]. She blocked this user while involved with him (edit warring on the same article), but see what she is saying:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwen_Gale/archive5#Your_Block_on_User:Southerndata "It was straightforward blanking but after the block, I edited the article and given this, was not happy with having been the blocking admin. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)"]. "'''After''' the block", Gwen? Well let's see. The user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3ASoutherndata&type=block was blocked at 15:04, 28 June 2008] for so called "vandalism" at [[en:Fred Noonan]]. Gwen Gale edited this article a lot, for example on June 26,2008 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&limit=500&action=history she made at least 10 edits]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&oldid=2399161 Actually Gwen Gale wrote this article, when she still edited as Wyss], but let's see June 28,2008: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222286333&oldid=222286201 Gwen Gale] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222287525&oldid=222287133 was edit warring] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Noonan&action=historysubmit&diff=222288253&oldid=222288170 with the very same editor she later blocked]. She was editing the article not '''after''' the block, but '''before''' the block.
And of course after blocking the user while so heavily involved with him Gwen Gale [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3ASoutherndata&type=block blocked him again] just two days later on 22:38, 30 June 2008 in spite of being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gwen_Gale/archive5#Your_Block_on_User:Southerndata "not happy with having been the blocking admin".]
To sum the above, not only Gwen called "vandalism" what was not "vandalism", not only she blocked the user while involved with him big, but she also made an untruthful statement that she edited the article '''after''' she imposed the block.
