::::::Sandstein is extremly clueless; he believes ending editor conflict is what is most important, not article quality. To reach the end of ending editor conflict, considering the massive number of socks and their unblockability, Sandstein believes blocking editors who oppose socks is the correct action to take. A mix of useful idiots, zealous racists, and government funded editors has already taken control of the IP area. Outside admins don't want to deal with such shit and the WMF shares the ideology the cabal is pushing.
