Light current, if you're going to go ahead and file an RfC (or several RfCs), then do so.

:Thanks for your vote of confidence in me. I'd actually prefer to stick with being a productive and polite editor, however, this is made difficult by virulent comments on my edits from various quarters.
:In no case have I intiated these exchanges, but I feel obliged to defend myself. When this proper defence results in my blocking I have a right to feel aggreived.
I want to make sure that All Admins are operating withing the blocking policy and not according to their own loose interpretation of it. And this is the purpose of the RfC
:Im not trying to get blocked: believe me I try to avoid it at all costs. But what I see as an innocent comment is spometimes taken by some others as being offensive when it is not meant to be. I see the problem as some Admins not AGF enough and of trying to read something smutty or troublesome into EVERYTHING iI say. Other editrs get away with far more risque comments thqan I could possibly hope to these days. in other words Im being victimised by a small group of Admins who will block me for no good reason other than their own erroneos interpretations of the bvlocking policy and out of revenge or temper tantrums: like you did to me over THB when I was only offering him support and trying to make light of his block.--] 23:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Problem = you are being harrassed (your perspective); you are baiting admins (admins perspective).

Problem, with respect to proposing RfC but not actually moving down the path (trolling-by-accident) = wasting time of many editors, including yourself, if stand off continues without useful discussion (wikipedia perspective).

Solution = RfC to bring all concerns to the table to enable a productive discussion hopefully leading to a resolved conflict.

:::::No you miss the point; Some AdminS are acting outside the blocking policy. I want to do something about it. An Rfc on one of the worst offenders seems the only way. --] 11:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

::::::I know the point, but they clearly think they are acting in the best interests of the encyclopedia. While the blocking policy may be quite specific there is also non specific leeway for neutralising disruptive influences. That will be the focus of the debate. The only reason i say you may not need the RfC is that you may be less interested or have even changed your opinion. We'll see. ] ] 11:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

::::::: but i'll stick with the unwashed masses. ;) I really don't have a need for the tools and i sometimes find it is more effective in disputes to not have the admin tool. Sometimes being an admin can get in the way of a serious discussion (dispute). Speaking of which, i see you are in the cooler again? Take the time to heal or play with your RfC page. Don't spin wheels on this page too much, it wastes your time. ] ] 21:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::No, no, come on David. I '''know''' you could do it. I couldnt! Honestly, speaking as a person who does not like Admins genarally, I think you definitely have the temperament and good judgement to be one. I say this even after you have chastised me (but fairly). You couldnt have a stronger recommendation than from the the 'bad boy' of the Rds and WP generally!! Any way have a think about it. If you decide in favor I''ll back you all the way! You know it makes sense!! 8-))--] 22:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

== Am I really truly disruptive to WP? ==

Well I have let this subject go about 5 or 6 six times in the past. The admin 'attacks on me' problem seems to be getting worse. What would you do in my shoes? Also, would you honsetly say I was disruptive to the encyclopedia. Ie preventing others from editing properly?

WP 'Blocking policy' defn of disruption
:
<blockquote>
'''Disruption''':

A user may be blocked when their conduct severely disrupts the project — their conduct is inconsistent with a civil, collegial atmosphere and interferes with the process of editors working together harmoniously to create an encyclopedia.

Disagreements over content or policy are not disruption, but rather part of the normal functioning of Misplaced Pages and should be handled through dispute resolution procedures. ''Blocks for disruption should only be placed when a user is in some way making it difficult for others to contribute to Misplaced Pages.''

Sysops may block IP addresses or usernames that disrupt the normal functioning of Misplaced Pages, or pose a sufficiently severe threat to it. Examples include (but are not limited to):

* Vandalism
* Excessive reverts (3RR)
* Inappropriate usernames
* Abusive sockpuppet accounts
* "Public" accounts, where the password is publicly available or shared with a large group
* Anonymous and open proxies
* Bots must have prior approval on Misplaced Pages:Bots/Requests for approval and may be blocked if an admin thinks they are malfunctioning in a damaging way

Speedy deletion nomination of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thomas Leach

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mhiji 21:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Axmouth02.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File source problem with File:Musicians earplug.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Musicians earplug.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
