Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:16, 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)

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 ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ≼  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)

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:

1. 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
2. Apologizing to Alakzi. Particularly because this comes on top of an incorrect sock accusation the day before.
3. Apologizing to everyone else for doing the same thing that so pisses me off when other people do it: causing pointless drama
4. Apologize to Jack for dredging his name up, and giving weasels an opportunity to get a free kick in
5. Getting back out of the sock business; I'm evidently worse at it than I thought
6. 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)
