Revision as of 19:39, 15 August 2015
The people who run this place don't give a shit about you. Four people looked into my personal info just because they could. This "community" now disgusts me. Alakzi (talk) 15:15, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
. Alakzi (talk) 15:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
And now . You're absolutely horrible people. Alakzi (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Blocked
I have just blocked your for a week for disruptive editing and personal attacks (for an example, see here). If you wish to ask for an unblock, please use the {{unblock}} template. Salvio 15:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- You sicken me. Alakzi (talk) 15:36, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Since you continued to use your talk page for personal attacks after being blocked for personal attacks I have removed access to your talk page for the duration of the block. You may appeal at WP:UTRS if you like.
- It does not matter how right or wrong you are, once you stop engaging in productive debate and instead resort to personal attacks you will find yourself unwelcome here. I suggest you not edit Misplaced Pages angry in the future. Chillum 16:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Chillum: Perhaps you were unaware that Salvio had already declined a request to block talk page access? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes very much unaware. Regardless I stand by my decision. Chillum 17:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Alakzi, you know I have been trying to deescalate this situation, even if ineffectively. More accounts and more frustration aren't going to help. Please just take some time off; this is not going to end well. Check your email. (In a few minutes, I'm slow.) Opabinia regalis (talk) 18:52, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Seconded! Mate, it's only a week. You'll be back here in no time. Talking from personal experience, this just isn't worth it. Seriously, one week and you're straight back. Best wishes! --YeOldeGentleman (talk) 18:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Some time away is often refreshing, I find. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅ᴥⱷ≼ 21:06, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
ANI
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --ceradon (talk • edits) 19:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- I have extended your block to 2 weeks from now due to your repeated engagement of block evasion. Just stop or you will end up with an indefinite block. Chillum 21:39, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- A block, no matter how much you extend it by, is not supposed to be a punishment Chillum. It is to preventative measure, not a punitive one. If this user creates lots of socks, just block them, don't extend a block! Cassianto 19:39, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Apology (copy of post on ANI)
OK. So:
- I haven't had much of a chance to see what's been going on here today on-wiki, because:
- I've received a lot of mail
- Some of it is of the "Yeah, I think so too" variety
- Some of it is of the "Are you sure? that doesn't sound right" variety
More importantly,
- Two of them are from people who have known both editors, and are very sure that they are not the same person. These are people who I trust not to mislead me to protect a friend. One of them in particular is convincing: all template-related stuff is black magic to me, but the particular area of technical expertise with templates is apparently quite different.
- Two of them have had several conflicts with Jack in the past, one of whom is doubtful and the other pretty confident I've got it wrong.
I saw (and still see) a lot of technical area overlap, and one or two other things that led me in one direction. But the human part of this - people I trust implicitly, and people who are smarter than me, saying it probably isn't Jack, or even flat out that it isn't - convinces me that I've probably made a big mistake, and one that caused a lot of distress to Alakzi. So, I'm:
- Withdrawing the accusation, and am not going to file an SPI; conflicting lists of pro and con pieces of evidence that friends and enemies can argue about will not be productive
- Apologizing to Alakzi. Particularly because this comes on top of an incorrect sock accusation the day before.
- Apologizing to everyone else for doing the same thing that so pisses me off when other people do it: causing pointless drama
- Apologize to Jack for dredging his name up, and giving weasels an opportunity to get a free kick in
- Getting back out of the sock business; I'm evidently worse at it than I thought
- Attempting to play The Game this weekend, except instead of not thinking of the Game, I'm trying not to think about Misplaced Pages
Once again, sorry Alakzi, and sorry everyone. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: As an observer to the drama that ensued this week, I would like to applaud you for apologising — you are setting an example of mature attitude towards editors. One can only hope that you will influence others in your position to follow. Webdrone (talk) 15:15, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
