After a disturbing personal attack and sustained wikihounding, I have decided that I do not wish to be a target for further abuse.

As these events have distressed others more than myself I am forced to break with my history of 23,000 edits. I may continue to check this account in order to support remaining dispute resolution processes or related policy discussion.

Up until recent weeks, my years on Misplaced Pages had been an enjoyable experience of collaborating with others on a wide range of topics, heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped me in the past.

Editing

I demand you come back to editing! Don't let attacks and hatred keep you from improving Misplaced Pages! CTJF83 chat 05:20, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, and since I mentioned you....Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. CTJF83 chat 05:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps User:Ash/RfC Delicious carbuncle should be resurrected since I guess I should have gone to RfC instead of ANI CTJF83 chat 09:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
You are free to do so, I suggest you coordinate with Benjiboi by email. I support the RFC as a means to clear the air. This is more to the benefit of Delicious carbuncle than me, in particular it would give him/her the opportunity to make it clear that they are not involved in outing Misplaced Pages editors on Misplaced Pages Review (whether or not any personal information is correct, false or speculative it can still hurt unconnected people). As I fear further personal attacks that may damage other people by continuing to use this account, those involved have already achieved the censorship they wanted. I guess I should see it as a "life-lesson" and I hope that others can learn from my mistakes, though I regret my contributions coming to an end. Misplaced Pages is a hobby, I can see no benefit in making myself a martyr in a campaign against censorship or homophobia. As I am unlikely to log in regularly any more (unless there is an active matter of dispute resolution in progress) please drop me an email note to make me aware of anything in the future. Cheers Ash (talk) 09:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Ok, sorry to see you go. CTJF83 chat 17:38, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Also sorry to see you go

I do not know what this personal attack was that was so hurtful, but I have always found your editing to be just fine. Of course there are always malcontents who are not happy unless they are making someone else unhappy. Take a rest and then COME BACK! Mugginsx (talk) 11:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Rest, refresh, and come back on your own schedule. Bearian (talk) 12:56, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Have you seen

this bit of revenge and gaming? http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Delicious_carbuncle/RFC I'd just ignore him and all of this. His own edits will speak for themselves. 38.109.88.180 (talk) 22:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Great, hopefully it'll keep him/her busy for a while rather than hassling editors who would rather collaborate on LGBT articles than spend all their time arguing the toss. At this point I'm hardly worried about any possible action that could be taken against me for inflated citation issues from last year. What would anyone do, ban me after I've already been forced to retire due to harassment? Meh, all these issues were clearly answered on the relevant article talk pages if anyone were bothered to look, no case to answer. This should make it obvious to the majority that DC is a type of "persistent litigant" intent on making life a misery for other contributors. Ash (talk) 09:28, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

RFC/USER discussion concerning you (Ash)

Hello, Ash. Please be aware that a request for comments has been filed concerning your conduct on Misplaced Pages. The RFC entry can be found by your name in this list, and the actual discussion can be found at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Ash, where you may want to participate. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I assume there is no particular timetable here. I am travelling this week from tomorrow and have been advised that I have to deal with a serious family matter in the next few days, though I may have some mobile internet access.
A glance at the RFC/U shows no new material that has not already been discussed ad nauseam on the ANI forum and if you were interested in resolving any sourcing issues in a collaborative manner, you would have discussed them on the article talk pages rather than ignoring my clarification. I doubt that pointing to AfDs provides sufficient evidence that you have genuinely attempted to resolve any dispute before taking the matter to RFC/U (or ANI for that matter, the latter not being a dispute resolution forum).
At this point I feel harassed; particularly as I made the effort at the time to explain in detail the sources raised into question on the article talk pages and it is clear that the sources pointed out on the RFC/U are not currently under dispute in the articles in question. In the process of discussing your accusations I have been accused of being a fraud, liar and accusing others of homophobia. Characterizations such as "seeing Fred Phelps around every corner" are inflammatory, misrepresent my statements make me seem ridiculously hysterical.
I will think about a response that may include and substantiate the above but I would rather you had done the gracious thing and left me alone and found something more interesting to do rather than being tempted to return to give me another kicking after your remorseless repeated complaints on ANI got you nowhere. I used to have a lot of fun contributing to Misplaced Pages and produced some widely recognized valuable templates and articles. Shame. Ash (talk) 22:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
For the record, you seem to be attributing to me comments I have not made, but all of it is better dealt with at the RFC. I'm sure your response can wait until your family matter is resolved. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:46, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Actually, NO, the RfC is regarding Ash's BLP contributions, nothing more...not any possible perceived personal attacks upon you. You wrote the Rfc, Dc, don't you know what it's about? 207.237.230.164 (talk) 04:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
If the participants can manage to confine themselves to that particular issue, I will be pleasantly surprised. I fully expect, however, that this will simply be the prelude to an ARBCOM case. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
So, just to be clear, you would like Ash to defend himself against accusations of behaviors in an RfC that's not actually about those behaviors. Is that right? 207.237.230.164 (talk) 04:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


Thanks for clarifying your position on my talk page. I suggest you put the RFC/U up for deletion as it is now clear that you are not using it as a genuine dispute resolution process but only as a route to get me blocked or banned. Ash (talk) 00:11, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Your conclusions seem entirely unrelated to what I wrote. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

This user is busy in real life due to a recent bereavement and may not respond swiftly to queries.
