By JoshuaZ, no less!

Apologies if this topic has already been discussed or Mr. Brandt disapproves. I just noticed that Hivemind was back up and checked his account. JoshuaZ has reblocked him for having an outing site.

Oh dear.

Kudos to SqueakBox!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=147349111

My guess is a response like "I believe in forgiveness and everyone will edit in perfect harmony." Which means "I ain't get involved in this no longer! Y'all are on your own!" Admonishing JoshuaZ though would bring some credibility back to the GodKing. And his reputation would be further uplifted by admonishing Slim Virgin for reblocking Zordrac despite his time being served (I wouldn't touch this issue with a 10-foot pole though, SqueakBox. JoshuaZ, possibly, but Slim Virgin will not allow it and you are too valuable a Wikipedian to have your career marred by a SV indef block).

I know that Daniel wasn't really interested in editing, but the block I think is more of a revenge tactic and goes against the whole peace deal after the AFD.

Would this notice from Durova constitute the plot thickening?

QUOTE
Mr. Brandt

I'm very disappointed to read your recent offline post. Mr. Brandt, you wield no power over me; you cannot leverage an unblock depending on what you do or don't post to your website.

Last month I nominated your article for deletion because I had already offered to do so of my own free will, not because of any pressure you thought you were exerting. I believed you had a legitimate point about the WP:BLP policy. I nearly changed my mind and withdrew that offer because, when you finally accepted it, I thought your tactics were abhorrent.

My usual offer to banned users is that I'll support a reinstatement of editing privileges after six months if the editor does three things: refrains from violating WP:SOCK, refrains from maligning Wikipedia offsite, and pledges to respect site policies in the future. These aren't hard things to do. My offer to you is different now: pledge never to attempt inappropriate pressure on a Wikipedia site administrator again. Until you make that pledge I will heartily endorse your ban indefinitely. DurovaCharge! 02:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


More demands from Durova in "her" encyclopedia.

What gives this person any authority over users' conduct off wiki? Doesn't that imply a level of intrusion, monitoring and verification that if reciprocated would be found unacceptable.
