James, Hmm. I would say "Nail 'em to the wall of shame". But I would probably do it in the Wikipedia way, namely, make sure it's in the Signpost, leave the evidence on talk pages, etc. This is a much better and effective method than using public venues on the internet that will just disappear in the pile eventually. The nice thing about Wikipedia discussions is the way you can always dig up the diffs. If the story is juicy, it will be picked up magically by third parties.
And I'll bet you can do that.
