| It seems that Yamla thought your edit was vandalism. If he was mistaken, you can tell him so without demanding that he resign as an admin. I have already moved your comment from his user page to the bottom of the user talk page, where by convention we add comments. If you care about this edit you made, please discuss it civilly. Also, please do not remove messages from your talk page. These can be archived if they get too long, but removing them seems unhelpful. Thanks, --] 17:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
| You said: "I don't understand why you feel it is necessary to threaten new users, hoping to be constructive to the Misplaced Pages community, in such a manner. I was not "vandalizing" the C++ page, and I'm not even sure how this idea came to you. Just because you want to perpetuate this self-image of being this "champion of anti-vandalism" doesn't mean you need to resort to Mcarthiest tactics to boost your ego. Think about your job as an administrator. your job to the community. you are a SERVANT of Misplaced Pages, and as a benevolent administrator you should seek to be kind and constructive whenever possible, not a power hungry, threatening little man hiding behind a computer screen. As an administrator, you have power, and that power should NEVER be abused to make you feel better about yourself, as you clearly were doing when issuing me a "final warning" when I never had a previous warning, and in fact did not even vandalize the site! My only intention was to make the C++ "Hello World" example more accurate for people interested in the language. As I have been coding in C++ for over 10 years, across embedded systems, from Windows to Linux to Solaris to operating systems themselves, I felt that my contribution to the article was both accurate, and would help users new to C++ by showing them a much more sane introductory program. If you don't feel the same way, feel free to discuss it with me, but don't just bitchslap me with a final warning and a threat. That just reeks of self-indulgence through a power trip, which is a trait I feel is fatal to being a good administrator. Is there a way to vote that an administrator be stripped of his privileges? If so, please explain to me how I may go about doing so. Your actions show that you are clearly not worthy of this position. | |||

| :It appeared to me that your contribution to C++ was deliberate vandalism. Here's why. Your change converted a program that was correct according to the C++ standard to one that was not correct according to the standard. However, I do agree that it would work in all or almost all current compilers. You removed a line which had a comment specifically indicating that it should not be removed. And you removed a line that is specifically discussed in the article's discussion page. Furthermore, the reason I left a vandal4 templated warning was because there were previous warnings for vandalism from that address. As it is an IP address, though, these may well not have been targeted at you. Now, with all of that in mind, I believe it is reasonable to leave a vandal4 warning. Had there been no warnings on that talk page before, however, a vandal2 would have been more appropriate. Please understand that what I am trying to do here is to explain why I left the vandal4 warning. I am happy to discuss any part of this if you wish me to expand on it. If you still wish to have me stripped of my administrator privileges, let me know and I can explain about our dispute resolution procedure and point you in the right direction. --] 17:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Removing content from talk pages == | |||
| Please do not remove content from talk pages (even your own). It is unhelpful, and merely deleting the content on the talk page so that it appears blank does not remove it from past versions of the page, which can be viewed by any member at any time in the history tab. If you wish to clear your talk page, then please archive - you can see ] for help on how to do that. ] 19:32, 27 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
