Malleus, your block is going to end on 12/29. Why did you call your post
"My final request" ?
About content of your post. It is great, it is Christmas time, time of forgiveness, is it not?
Only there is a problem with that. Gwen has changed towards you because she knows,
when it is time to support consensus, but she did not change towards others.
She has been a bully administrator since she started and up to now.
She still posts bad blocks.Only most editors are not as known as you are, and their blocks are left unnoticed.
In a meantime I almost felt sorry for Gwen, when I read
thisQUOTE
I have never been so harassed, wantonly smeared, blatantly lied about or otherwise trashed as I've been on this website. Not even nearly. I've put up with it because I knew the slurs were never about me as such, but about other stuff only a dozen or so editors (out of thousands) were flogging and thrashing away at towards their own utterly selfish, narrow, thwarted goals and outlooks as to editorial and policy outcomes (and I dare say much worse sometimes).
I only wish she provided some differences... BTW did she mean you, Malleus, as one of these "a dozen or so editors (out of thousands)" who were " flogging and thrashing away at towards their own utterly selfish, narrow, thwarted goals and outlooks as to editorial and policy outcomes", or smearing her? If not, why in a world she posted that rant in your arbitration case?
In the same post she calls wikipedia "this encyclopedic hobby", and complains she has "not a lot" free time.
Well, she did write
25 articles "in almost eight years of editing here" (most just being stubs), and the most important one being
Lesbian sexual practices, but it looks like she has always had the time to bully.
Oh sorry, I forgot she also wrote two articles about herself.
Sadly they got deleted.She said she would have unblocked you. How brave of her to say so about the block that had a strong consensus for being lifted:/
Please make no mistake, she would have blocked indefinitely 99.99999% of all editors in a similar situation because her "encyclopedic hobby" is a pleasure of bullying.
So it is not actually about your own "grudge against [[User:Gwen Gale]] ",Malleus.
You could and should forgive, but bully administrators hurt contributors and they should be constantly reminded to be fair with every good faith editor, and not only with valued and notable editors as you are, Malleus.
