== Formal warning about your comment at ] ==

Sswonk, I find your comment at ] very close to seriously inappropriate behaviour. It gives the distinct impression of trying to put words in another user's mouth. It is clearly against the spirit of canvassing, and it smacks of trying to 'stir up trouble' (for possible want of a better phrase) by way of tempting Sarah to go against the advice of her mentor, possibly in the hope of getting her involved in a large and potentially uncivil discussion where consensus is not currently matching your views. '''Please consider this a formal warning'''. Sarah is to be commended for her actions in voluntarily consulting with her mentor and then taking his advice, particularly on a subject she is know to have strong views about. Having explicitly declined to contribute to the discussion, as is the right of every contributor to this project, you should not be hounding her. <small>Crossposted to ] and ].

:Consider this a formal warning: you are being a ]. My did not in any way "suggest tempting Sarah to go against the advice of her mentor". I asked her to confirm, on her page via a single sentence response, what is a blatant truth, that she opposes the title. I can only thank you for your fantastic summation that what I asked is "in the hope of getting her involved in a large and potentially uncivil discussion", since it illustrates very well why I consider this website a cesspool. For someone of your caliber to become an administrator after only six months of work in 2005, and proceed to consider that license hold the views you do and lord over people who disagree with you is a severe insult to the intelligence of the populations of wiki editors and readers alike. I formally reject your authority, because you use it to stifle critics, prop up your ego and spread fantastic, poisonous lies about other editors. No one should have to put up with this, I certainly won't. <small>cc: Thryduulf talk, Sarah77 talk.</small> ] (]) 14:14, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

::I cannot see anything "seriously inappropriate" in those comments, nor do I find any canvassing there. I believe Sswonk's characterization of Sarah777's view is accurate, and I see him simply asking her to confirm it, in response to a query by Dmcq. I think Thryduulf's "formal warning" is inappropriate, and I think he owes Sswonk an apology. -- ]·] 14:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

:::While I might have considered an apology had I read your comments (Evertype) before Sswonk's, the personal attacks he has responded with are completely inappropriate and unjustified in ''all'' situations. Were they not directed against me, I would be not unlikely be considering a civility block. As they are directed against me, I shall obviously not be doing so (my judgement regarding what I perceive as attacks against me is hardly going to be unbiased), so ] is my next stop. ] (]) 14:40, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
