Turkeys getting you down
The ongoing WP cultural/org feature of abusive admins drunk with &/or corrupted by power will eventually be purged from the WP body, if WP wants a place in modern, intelligent & civilized society. (Per Simon & Garfunkel, "Patterns", 1965: " the pattern never alters, until the rat dies.") Cheers, --IHTS (talk) 20:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians who like Black Mirror
Hey! I saw that you edited the article Black Mirror and thought maybe you would be interested in this new user category I created?-🐦Do☭torWho42 (⭐) 11:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Peter Thiel
I'm not going to insult you by whacking a great big "edit warring" template on your page (mainly because some of your edits are clearly positive), but you've reverted more than 3 times in 24 hours at this article now and if someone was to take you to WP:AN3 you would almost certainly be blocked again. Can I suggest you self-revert your last edit and start talking on the talkpage, which after all is what should be happening - with both of you - in the first place?

- Hasn't he been edit warring too, with his multiple reverts? over the last 24 hours? I don't see him doing anything on the talk page, only accusations of bad faith. MaxBrowne (talk) 21:33, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not taking sides, I'm merely talking about the technical points of 3RR. There's certainly a possibility (it's difficult without delving into a technicalities of the various edits) that he has broken 3RR as well. I'm just trying to avoid anyone being blocked here and instead having a conversation on the talkpage. I could achieve this by simply full-protecting the article, but I'd obviously prefer not to do that ... Black Kite (talk) 21:37, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- The discussion on your talk page is disturbing. He shows no willingness at all to engage on the talk page, and every willingness to go after me at ANI, even shopping for admins in the process. MaxBrowne (talk) 21:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- You'll notice I didn't do anything apart from remove the NPOV notice (which was correct because you hadn't explained it on the talk page). One thing I don't do as an admin is block people on demand, I'd far rather things were sorted out by discussion, which you'll see - hopefully - is what I'm trying to start here. Black Kite (talk) 21:45, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- And now he piles on the insults and assumptions of bad faith. I don't see how I can be expected to engage productively with such an editor. MaxBrowne (talk) 22:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Blocked
I warned you about your conduct on the Peter Thiel article, and it appears that you are not heeding the warning, so I've blocked you. Collaboration is literally impossible when you won't stop calling people names. Swarm ♠ 12:51, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- This is bullshit. MaxBrowne (talk) 12:59, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- It's literally so lenient. Swarm ♠ 15:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- What is it supposed to achieve apart from pissing me off? I haven't made any edits to that article, it's protected. And "harassment" is rich, the guy attacks me constantly any time I post on the talk page. You are full of shit. MaxBrowne (talk) 21:58, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've revoked your talkpage access before you talk yourself into a much longer block than 24 hours. When you return, I suggest you take Peter Thiel off your watchlist and concentrate on the chess and other articles that you're good at. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 22:09, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- The block was almost a full day after the action complained about and there was no disruption since then. The block was ridiculous and punitive, and took no account of the constant ad hominem attacks by the other party. Then an WP:INVOLVED admin who has previously acted in a very insulting manner towards me decides to step in as well.... fast approaching the "fuck this place" point again.
