Hi Neal; I saw your name at ]. For what it's worth, had I been the reviewing admin I don't think I'd have blocked you, or at least not for 48 hours. You've been here for a long time and managed to edit some very contentious topics without running into any problems, and that ought to count for something. Similarly, the other involved account appears to be a fairly openly acknowledged alternate account of someone whose other accounts have all been blocked (some for username issues, some for disruption?). My instinct would be to give you the benefit of the doubt here. However, since the block has been placed and reviewed by two very experienced and even-handed admins, I'm not going to substitute my judgement for theirs and undo it. | |||

Still, my experience has been that you're a solid, level-headed, and valued contributor who works hard to edit constructively in areas where constructive editing is in short supply. I wanted to affirm that, and voice my hope that we don't lose you over this. I will look into the issue with {{user|Lucyintheskywithdada}} a bit further; it appears quite complex, so I've contacted ]. | |||

I've been in your position, in that it's very easy to get caught up in reverting when the other party appears obviously in the wrong on a basic policy level. Unfortunately, being "right" is rarely accepted as a defense at ], and perhaps it ought to be that way. Next time around, please get outside editors or admins involved early. It's painful and it can take a while, but in the end it's the only way to go. I've learned this the hard way myself. I'm happy to look at any situations you're having trouble with down the line. Anyhow, I just wanted to affirm that this incident is obviously highly atypical for you, and I would really hate to see it outweigh the good work you've done or lead you to leave the project. That would be a significant loss. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 18:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

:Thank you for that MastCell. Ultimately there's some things I could have done differently, so I'll take the block as a learning lesson. I'm a pretty patient person, had my patience spread thin, so I guess in a way 48 hours is a good start towards rebuilding patience. On the <s>RE</s>TIRED above, the emphasis is on the Tired part. I'll still be around. --''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 19:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

::Good. By the way, there has been some discussion (initiated by Tariqabjotu) of these blocks on ] (just scroll past the 7 homeopathy threads to find it). Lucyintheskywithdada was indefinitely blocked by JzG. Tariq had floated the idea of unblocking you as well. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 19:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
Don't sweat blocks. The best of us go through them. Sometimes I wish you were the only person allowed to edit paranormal articles. I think that we would end up with some great stuff. Oh well. ] (]) 21:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks guys. I'm not really worried about it. Tariqabjotu was completely justified in the block and my request for unblock was just from my perspective and not necessarily a "justified" reason for unblocking. I was just exercising the option because it was available. If three or four unblock requests were available, I'd probably use them too, just because they're there, not because I'd feel unblocking is necessary to right some great wrong. 48 hours isn't the end of the world. It's already half over anyway. The only place I actually ''wanted'' to edit was my user page to remove some personal information. I had an admin do that for me, so now I can relax easier. --''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 22:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC) |
