What are you talking about?

I haven't communicated with Legacypac since he was blocked. I have avoided participating in the threads where he is still throwing mud at me. My major concern was always his breaches of BLP, and obviously they have stopped (apart from his attacks upon me). Yet you write "This feud between Legacy and HiLo needs to end now. Both have behaved poorly. They need to cease initiating any contact with or about the other." You are not paying attention. HiLo48 (talk) 23:43, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

You are apparently referring to this discussion on Legacy's talk page, and this comment in particular. Apparently, you didn't read my message carefully. I suggest you re-read the last sentence, which refers to both of you needing to "cease initiating any contact with or about each other". While you may not have initatied any contact with him, the problem is that you have yet to stop initiating contact about him. To put it simply, you keep talking about him to other editors. For proof, see the following diffs. I included only the 12 most recent ones.

I'll repeat to you a great piece of advice that admin Drmies gave to Legacy (regarding you): "it's time to stop concerning yourself with him". Move on. Legacy received a harassment warning for making negative comments about you, and the same thing is going to happen to you if you don't stop. I don't want to see either one of you getting blocked. I have no idea how all of this hostility between the two of you developed, and really don't want to know, but many editors are unfortunately very familiar with both of you. For the wrong reasons. An editor's reputation is everything on here. And you both now have the opportunity to fix that. Editing on Misplaced Pages should be a pleasant experience. I wish you the best of luck. 76.189.109.155 (talk) 01:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

If you don't mind, I'll endorse and add to this. HiLo, I made the comments I made to Legacypac because at that time you weren't invoking their name everywhere--or at least I wasn't aware of it. IP76 is entirely right--I will warn you also for this plethora of edits which adds up to harassment, and if you don't stop making them you might find yourself blocked as well. I had really hoped that this would be over by now; as far as I can tell Legacypac was going to leave you alone and I thought you'd be doing the same. IP76, thanks for the note and for allowing me to use this beautiful talk page of yours. Drmies (talk) 01:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I didn't report Legacypac to AN/I and cop a Boommerang block. He reported me, and got blocked. I didn't start the sock puppet case (nor even comment there) which gave Legacypac another opportunity to throw mud at me. I have done absolutely nothing wrong in this case. All I did was defend articles against his blatant BLP breaches, for which he has now been blocked. He appears unable to accept the reality that he is in the wrong here. I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He continues to condemn and attack me, and he suffers no consequences. How can that be right. To say "I have no idea how all of this hostility between the two of you developed, and really don't want to know" is not being a very wise judge. It really does matter who did or did not do something. I DID NOTHING WRONG! I will stop now. My intention right from the start was to defend Misplaced Pages. I can see your point on that front. But the justice system on Misplaced Pages is appalling. (See my User page for further thoughts on the matter if you wish.) HiLo48 (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

HiLo, I'm very disappointed in your response. Beyond the inappropriate tone (caps, exclamation points, anger, etc.), you unfortunately disregarded the most vital point, which was that "it's time to stop concerning yourself with him". The fact that you came back here and yet again posted hostile comments about the other editor, just seven minutes after an administrator issued an explicit harassment warning to you about doing that, honestly amazes me. The mistakes by the other editor are irrelevant at this point. The issue now is about the future, not the past. You cannot control the actions of other editors; you can only control your own. My other concern is your apparent inability, or perhaps unwillingness, to accept or admit to your own inappropriate actions. To insist three times - twice by shouting - that you have done absolutely nothing wrong is an indication that you're likely to continue having problems with other editors going forward. For starters, I'd refer you to the list of diffs above. Regarding your statement that I am not "a very wise judge", I don't take offense to that because I have no interest in being a judge, nor in issuing some type of scorecard for the two of you. This is not a boxing match. For the record, you made a serious allegation that the other editor "continues to condemn and attack" you. If that's in fact the case, I'm sure Drimes would be interested in seeing the diffs that support your claim. With regard to your user page, you seem to have quite a bit of anger and frustration with regard to the project. I hope that things change for you in a way that will allow editing to be a happy experience for you. --76.189.109.155 (talk) 03:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, Drmies knows about a lot of them, but I'm not going down that path any more. And all those diffs above came after I was inappropriately reported, and were attempts on my part to either defend myself, or express despair at the inability of Misplaced Pages to control an out of control editor. I won't apologise, but I've stopped. This all leads back to where it all started. An editor was doing something wrong on the BLP front, in both articles and on Talk pages. I was one of several to try to stop him. I don't think I did it significantly differently from the others. But it led to him reporting just me, wrongly. It led to this. Now I am wondering about the future. (I do that when things turn pear shaped. I can be quite reflective.) I will see future breaches of policy. I will be tempted to attempt to stop them. I probably won't be able to help myself. Those I try to stop breaking the rules may get cranky again, and blame me publicly for their troubles. Will the cycle just continue? Should I give up on defending Misplaced Pages? HiLo48 (talk) 03:41, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
