The ANI about a block
- Joefromrandb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Hello There'sNoTime. If another admin were to try to close the thread about Joefromrandb right now, WP:ANI#Long-term gross incivility and WP:BATTLE they would probably have to say there is no consensus for the block. I figure that there are about 10 people in favor, 7 against and 9 who say that the block was too quick. Ironically, this leaves us uncertain how the 'too quick' people would have voted on the merits. Since the thread has been open more than a week a further shift of opinion seems unlikely. You might choose to just to lift the block and then leave any further action to ANI. In this way you could take yourself out of the loop. I take no position on the block myself. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 04:33, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Good idea, done so -- There'sNoTime 06:23, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- EdJohnston, I wanted to send you a thank-you-click for this, but the "cabal approved" was in its way ;) - You are a member of the cabal by what you do, will repeat it tomorrow (I try to tell only one a day). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for the unblock. Could you find a short message for Joe, beyond the edit summary? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:47, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
No barnstar, just words
Just dropping by because of this: I am here to express my admiration for your courage and accountability in the administrative actions you take, which takes a lot of character and I respect you both as a fellow editor and administrator. The attacks against you were simply unfair, especially when you are making these calls in the interest of the community. Warm regards, Alex Shih 06:49, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
Don't fret. There's a proclivity these days to jump all over just about anything like this, it'll soon be yesterday's news. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:52, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
