JzG's "private block template", just drips with self-importance Options

I thought of this idea a while back and was wondering who would be the first to think of it on WP and implement it. I should've known it would be Guy Chapman, the man who considers rampant instability and self-gratifying lectures to be assets to adminship.

Just LOOK at it. He is so fucking full of himself, it's infuriating! I've never seen anyone with such gall, anyone so convinced they're entitled to play Daddy with everyone they have power over.

I could care less about Guy's sysop bit at this point; I'm more concerned about the fact that this man is raising real live children, and I say that with absolutely no humor. I hope someone drums up a policy to forbid transcluding userspace in block messages (though since the idea originated here, it'll probably never happen :-D).

Lar, if you're saying you don't see a difference between your block template and JzG's, then I frankly don't believe you. Your block template is professional and conveys Wikipedia expectations, values and rules. It has absolutely none of the contempt or self-gratification that Guys template does. Most of all, it's all about the "we" and the "our", implying some endorsement of the ideas it communicates by the community. Guy's template is all about Guy, and Guys victims validating Guy's authority.

Wikimedia has such a diverse potpourri of socially defective people in power. Guy to me is the epitome of the sector that needs to know he's able to condescend to other people, his peers no less. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether he believes they're truly submitting to his authority, or whether he knows and gets off on the fact that they only play along because he has the block button.
