User talk:Alastair Haines: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 628:

::He was using this page inappropriately, and at most, his block has been extended another 12 hours than it would have been. It wasn't that he was removing comments. He was removing them so he would have the last word and paraphrasing them out of context. That is why he is not allowed to edit this page until his block expires.—[[User:Ryulong|<font color="blue">Ryūlóng</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryulong|<font color="gold">竜龙</font>]]) 00:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

:::This entire situation would have been avoided if L'Aquatique had reported this rather than doing the block - he quite rightly objects to that, as L'Aquatique is ''involved''. Sadly arbcom didnt add a clause to require that the parties can only be blocked by an uninvolved admin. I have initiated a RFAR clarification on that now. He is permitted to remove them per [[Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#User_talk_pages]], however I appreciate that the way he did it was not ideal. I had [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alastair_Haines&diff=253366316&oldid=253365361 objected] to the way his paraphrasing was being used against him, and now you are using it as the foundation of a block extension. You [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alastair_Haines&diff=253455630&oldid=253384208 restored] comments that he had removed; fine - revert and protect, but the block aggravates the situation. This block was not ideal from the beginning, and has been getting worse since then. <span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Jayvdb|John Vandenberg]] ^{'''([[User talk:Jayvdb|chat]])'''}</span> 01:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
