Warning

This is shockingly bad advice. I don't know any of the context of this, and just found the page while looking at unblock requests. but advising someone to create sockpuppets to avoid a topic ban seems, on its surface, to be a really, really bad idea. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:06, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

What about not "on its surface"? Strangesad (talk) 21:16, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I can't think of any time when advising someone else to break the rules that way would be a good idea. If you think that this person has been unfairly treated, the better thing to do would be making a strong case at WP:AN that the topic ban was unreasonable and should be lifted. It's never a good idea to goad someone into actions that would certainly lead to a permanent block for them. Even if yourgoal is that this person should be permanently blocked, it reflects badly on you to push them into it. A person who is not going to be a beneficial part of Misplaced Pages will eventually make that clear and be indefinitely blocked without any nudging. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

So, you can't think of something that I can think of. We haven't found a common ground. I have no faith in ANI. Strangesad (talk)

I came here to comment on the same bit of extremely bad advice, and completely agree with FisherQueen in this matter. I urge you to return to Humanpublic's talk page and retract your comment. If your intention is to help another editor, urging them to violate policy is certainly not the sort of "help" they need. Regards ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:19, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Sometimes violating policies is what's right. Strangesad (talk) 23:43, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

We all look alike

Have you seen my (soon to be rejected) arbitration request? They think all atheists think the same. We are all part of a vast hate-driven conspiracy to attack Christianity. Humanpublic (talk) 04:31, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a look. They've upped my hours at work, so I have less time for Misplaced Pages now. Strangesad (talk) 15:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

OK. Will you be at the Meetup this month? Humanpublic (talk) 19:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
