ok

not the bar owner, but all of the other three. 110.139.190.67 (talk) 14:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

cryptic message is cryptic! –xeno 14:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
You know what the term for a group of vultures is? a committee. 110.139.190.67 (talk) 14:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh! I get it now. The complete lack of surprise... –xeno 14:15, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I've not been surprised since February. 110.139.190.67 (talk) 14:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
In a certain sense, you are fortifying the walls from within. –xeno 14:32, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I've been quite clear that I will not abide by restrictions that should have been lifted ages ago. If the committee wants to unleash the thugs to beat a few IPs to a bloody pulp over a joke account, and have a fair number of reasonable editors be appalled by it, I'm happy to oblige. 'Jack' was always a mirror to the community, anyway. Gotta go, 110.139.190.67 (talk) 14:45, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I think this whole thing took a sharp downhill with this edit. Still don't understand that one. –xeno 15:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
You have to see it in the light of the chronologically previous comment : "I'm certainly not going to support lifting a restriction that is being flaunted repeatedly", and the utter hubris of "Frankly, if not for the defiance in creating these additional accounts, I'd have seriously considered lifting all of the remaining sanctions" in the comment above that one.
You are right though, that those two edits mark the sharp downturn in events, quite contrary to Jack's very reasonable expectations. There he was, like a prisoner tantalised with a promise of freedom, when the gates were slammed shut in his face. I'm not surprised by his response in the circumstances, and you really shouldn't be either. --RexxS (talk) 23:45, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
My personal favourite: "worthy of a smackdown". Epic. What do we have to do to be worthy of a smackdown? At what point is Coren going to smack me down? Does he have the right? Does anyone? The sheer pomposity of it leaves me speechless. Jack scuttled his accunts with one hour of this post. Coincidence? I think not --Diannaa 03:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
