| Blechnic, end this bad attitude. You may be right, but it was how you conducted yourself in the editing and discussion that got you blocked. Your bad behaviour distracts and ruins your good message. What a shame. This block is totally avoidable. Live and learn. --] (]) 10:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :This IP editor was right, and that is why I reverted your removal and subsequent changes. You were simply being acerbic and that was in no way helping the encyclopedic goals. You were told to stop editing the page disruptively, and you continued. The entire article has been rewritten and the sources that you claimed were spam have since been removed (yet you found a way to complain about the new sources). Perhaps it is best that you are not returning to Misplaced Pages, as your mindset would hinder the project.—] (]) 22:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 22:51, 4 May 2008
Punitively and permanently blocked for discussing edits on the talk page, edits that other editors agree with, or edits that etablished editors could offer no contraindicating evidence for not allowing.
Because the polices can be used against me, and I am not allowed to edit by policy, this block is not just punitive, but permanent. A user cannot be expected to know which policies apply and which don't, but since this is required on Misplaced Pages it effectively means that it can be used against any new editors that one disagrees with simply by getting a like-minded gang of editors to do the same thing.
But what's accuracy, when someone can show that what they think "looks" okay is better than what the Misplaced Pages community decided is policy? What's accuracy, when you can be blocked by an administrator for questioning something that goes against Misplaced Pages policy?
The administrator who blocked me did so because he was supporting the editors who did not have any policy matters to quote or any reliable sources to use for the article. While I was discussing why the source was unreliable, my arguments were being met with comments like, "Let it go." Clearly, with these editors having no reliable sources, and being unable to come up with any, and unable to read the German source (which doesn't quite agree with the article), the administrator had to block me to support his established Misplaced Pages editors.
I was blocked because I could discuss my edits, but no one else could.
And that is not just punitive, but petty, and against policy.
And now the blocking administrator is sorry he dragged an established editor into this mess and has apologized to the editor who was edit warring and reverting me.
Not suprised by that, though.
