== About the ani discussion ==

Thanks for discussing things more constructively. I'm glad I've unblocked you and you are able to participate there.

After reading your recent comments, it's clear you're frustrated with the process there. ] comes to mind. That was written for new administrators but may be appropriate. The good news is no matter what the outcome, with a little time, you can appeal and if things have gone well in the intervening time, most sanctions either expire or often can be lifted.

My observation is that you're generally a very good editor but like many here, when you get into a minor conflict, the rancor can escalate quickly and sometimes judgement goes out the window. Cooling off blocks are not appropriate but self-imposed cooling off wikibreaks often help. If you can't cool off, then you should really consider not editing because in your case, I've seen it get out of hand quickly more than once. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just maybe some constructive advice.

Just my $0.02 worth. Good luck. I'm starting a bit of a wikibreak myself. ] <small>(])</small> 12:58, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
:I really appreciate your comments and you striking out your support for the behaviour ban. I must admit that my opinion of you was heavily negatively influenced by our interaction during our dispute a while back, but I can say that it's changed for the better, and significantly so. ] (]) 13:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

== Topic ban ==
Hello. Per the result of , the community has imposed a topic ban on your editing; you are topic-banned from all articles and talk pages related to Microsoft products, broadly construed, for a period of six months.--] (]) 23:10, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
:], I would like to request that you clarify what exactly I am banned from editing. As I read the original proposal and subsequent discussion: (1) the ban was to apply to '''''article''''' talk pages (and articles, of course), not talk pages in general; (2) there was '''''no consensus''''' for the "broadly construed" part; (3) the ban was to apply to articles "about" Microsoft products, '''''not''''' those merely "related to" them. I would ask that you change the wording of the ban to more accurately reflect community consensus.
::Read ]. If you do then you will see the following passage: {{tq|Unless clearly and unambiguously specified otherwise, a topic ban covers all pages (not only articles) broadly related to the topic, as well as the parts of other pages that are related to the topic.}}. As such there IS consensus for the "Broadly construed" part. If you keep on trying to ] your way out of the topic ban then you will only find yourself receiving escalating blocks until you stop. ]&#124;]&#124;] 00:02, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
:By the way, it seems to me that you didn't add the ban to the list at ] correctly. ] (]) 23:23, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
::There's no restriction on talk pages in general; I'm not sure where you're reading that. Further, there wasn't any discussion of restricting the topic ban to only articles about Microsoft products; per TBAN, topic bans are in general intended to be broadly construed, and in this case the topic is Microsoft products. If there is a section about a Microsoft product on a page that is itself *not* about a Microsoft product, then the topic ban would apply to that section. This is not intended to cover pages tangentially related to Microsoft products (so, for example, there was no consensus to ban you from editing pages about Apple products as an example, or Operating systems as another example, though, you would have to stay away from sections that specifically cover Microsoft). While this wasn't discussed, I do think that because of the pervasiveness of Microsoft products, your editing of a section that has a tangential mention of a Microsoft product (e.g. "John's law firm used mostly Windows but switched to Apple later on (<and then you add something here>") would fall outside the remit of this ban. My general advice would be to use common sense. If you think a reasonable admin would consider that a given edit was "too close" to being about a Microsoft product for comfort, then don't make the edit. If you are unsure whether a particular edit may violate this topic ban, feel free to ask me or another editor who participated in the discussion for their opinion on the matter. If you want a definition of a Microsoft product, I would define it as a software, hardware, or service produced and/or sold by Microsoft with Microsoft branding or logo.--] (]) 00:01, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
