This was absolutely predictable. The other side know that there will be people needling Giano, so are taking a flexible attitude. But Giano knows this too, and is determined to push things to the very limit.

You have begun to interest me, stalking is a game that two can play...I'm wondering why the Arbcom accepted a case from you with such speedy, almost suspicious, alacrity - if I were one of those Arbs I would now be very worried, because your edits have started to interest me too, first one on Masturbation - now there's a sunject and a half. As I said I am now very interested indeed.You see John I am still far from happy about the IRC case, and I will get to the bottom of it, if not here then elsewhere.

I understand why you could be upset at john, but this is a little disapointing. I saw it as some kind of threat - you should know that taking things elsewhere isn't what we do here. I personally have a lot of respect for you and I honestly thought you were way above this - just take a step back and think about things for a minute. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

You have absolutely no respect for me at all so don't be so bloody hypocritical. By elsewhere I mean of course IRC, isn't that where you and all your buddies and the Arbs hang out, and where if we want to discover the truth concerning Wikipedia we are all forced to go these days? You see Ryan, I will get to the bottom of this, the very bottom, and if one way draws a blank, I shall go in another direction. I know the truth, all I have to do is prove it.

Giano has been blocked for "incivility":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Adm...ion_enforcement

One and one-half hours after he engaged in this conversation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:FloNight#IRC_Admins

His last edit:

"Now I am also in possession of many logs which don't quite bear out your earlier statemnts concerning reform, but for now I'm going to bed. Hopefully we can continue this fascinating conversation in the morning,"

How fascinating....blocked for incivility for asking questions. Meanwhile Guy's RfC languishes..."telling people to "fuck off", calling them "twats", gay-bashing with the term "Turd Burglar", and responding to criticism with "shut the fuck up", is apparently not even offensive enough for removal of the admin bit, much less a civility block.

Yah, you can bring this up over and over again, noting the hypocrisy, the double standards, pointing out that it's evidence the block has nothing to do with 'civility' but rather is to silence someone and 'discourage' questions, noting their inability to answer for themselves, or even to answer a simple question, pointing out they haven't live up to the responsibilities they asked for, accepted and were granted by the community, and so on and so forth...

And it still doesn't get through those thick skulls. They just trundle on, tank brains, fueled by delusions of self-righteousness, thumping their chests about how wonderful and right and pure they all are. I think FT2 or one of them actually said yesterday that he was trying to 'help' Giano - fucking morons. And the long winded and idiotic blithering by FT2 that says less and less the longer it gets - a criminal waste of the community's time.
