== Block of {{User|Irpen}} ==

Hi, there. I must admit I'm a tad concerned over your block of Irpen. I'm normally not one to wikilawyer, but while his comments were inappropriate on ], he wasn't given any warning (nor a block message after the block), so I think it might be a good idea to bring this up on ] as it seems to be a controversial block. Thanks. <font color="DarkGreen">]</font><sup>]</sup> 00:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
:Endorse Cowman's concern. Are you planning to leave Irpen a block message any time soon? ] | ] 00:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
::I think this whole thing is quickly blowing up a lot more than it has to, and I feel responsible. Could someone leave a block message on his page, and let him cool down for however long the block is? I would myself, but I fear that'd just escalate the situation. I think the whole matter, at this point, could use some disengagement and cooling down. Cheers, ✎ <span style="font-family: Verdana">] ( ] &bull; ] )</span> 00:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::All right, Betacommand, the block was placed at 23:51, 25 minutes ago, and you have neither placed a block message on Irpen's page nor responded to concerns voiced here. Please respond, either here or on ANI, or I feel I'll have to unblock. ] | ] 00:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC).

::::Thanks for your input, Cowman, and I won't if it's inappropriate, but the thing is, nobody knows about this block except people who happened to see the note on WP:PAIN--Betacommand hasn't posted the block anywhere, which is exactly the trouble. How do you figure I'm involved with Irpen? I don't know him. Do you mean I'm involved because I've posted on ], in the same thread as he did? Isn't that a little tenuous? ] | ] 00:27, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
: I think he drew that implication from the statement ''"I'll take a shot, Piotrus"''. I'm not saying it's correct, but I think that's where they got it. Can we just try to calm down a bit, all of us? All of this started over what I suppose was an overreaction on my part - let's not continue it with further overreactions, okay?

::::"Take a shot" at reviewing the warning of Ghirlandajo, yes. I didn't see that as anything to do with Irpen. And Cowman talks about "the past". Cowman, you were the one I asked, I'd appreciate an answer. Peter, frankly, to me you're the only one here that doesn't seem calm. What exactly is it you're urging us to do/not do? Are you saying unblocking Irpen would be an "overreaction"? ] | ] 00:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
I was looking through ] and I fail to see any personal attack by Irpen having sufficient venom to warrant a block, especially the 48h long. Please provide a rationale for this block ] 00:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

::I believe it was in part due to such notes such as , an edit that only served to inflame matters by suggesting people were ganging up on IRC against Ghirlandajo. I don't believe that such comments warranted a block, especially without warning, but I do agree his comments were unnecessarily inflammatory as he seemed to put too much emphasis, in my opinion, explaining how he believed the user who issued the warning to Ghirlandajo was inexperienced and foolish, while this matter could have gone so much more smoothly if it was simply mentioned that he believed such a warning was inappropriate without all the comments about user behavior. This is really being blown out of proportion. <font color="DarkGreen">]</font><sup>]</sup> 00:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
::: I feel a block in this case is definitely a knife's edge borderline case. I would have felt a lot more comfortable with it, however, if there was at least a warning on their talk page. As this was not the case, I noted the block on the PAIN report. I dont want this blown out proportion any more than it has, so if they request an unblock and are not going to bother me or further aggrivate PAIN, I'm okay with it. Cheers, ✎ <span style="font-family: Verdana">] ( ] &bull; ] )</span> 01:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

:I think the block is to do with Irpen's behaviour on ]. Anyway, just to let all know that I've added {{t1|npa5}} and details of when the block expires onto Irpen's user talk page. --<font color="#27408B" size="2">'''Kind Regards - '''] | ] | ]</font> 00:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Cowman that Irpen's criticism of IRC was misplaced and unnecessary inflammatory. I also agree with Bishonen and Cowman that the matter does not warrant a block. Since there seems to be a consensus that the block was excessive and Betacommand is not here to explain his block I am unblocking Irpen ] 01:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
:I have no objection here. <font color="DarkGreen">]</font><sup>]</sup> 01:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
::I think he knows that he's been blocked by now, Heligoland. It would have been good if Betacommand had given specific reasons and preferably some example of a personal attack—this both for the information of the user, and to make the block reviewable by other admins without fumbling in the dark. Anyway, I've posted a request for review on WP:ANI. Not an "overreaction" to a 48-hour hit-and-run block for unspecified personal attacks, in my opinion. ] | ] 01:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
:::Oh, good. Alex, please make a note of your action on ANI. Cowman, for the third time of asking, would you mind telling me how you reckon I was "involved"? ] | ] 01:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC).

:::The user now being unblocked, I don't see there being any positive outcome from dragging the issue on further. He was (in our conjecture) blocked over, as Bryant put it, "sustained attacks on the integrity of Peter". I'm not complaining any further. I don't have an issue. I just want this done with. So let's not drag it on, please? There is no reason to drag an admin who seems to have acted in good faith to ANI for a minor misstep. Cheers, ✎ <span style="font-family: Verdana">] ( ] &bull; ] )</span> 01:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I do agree that this block was misplaced. Irpen should have received a npa template at best, it is Ghirla who made most of the offences in this case. Either way, don't worry, Beta, we all make mistakes.--<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]|]</span></sub> 02:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

:Piotrus, while your own desysopping is under discussion on ], any anti-Ghirlandajo rant is misplaced. As for Betacommand's actions, I view his abuse of tools as disruptive and strongly urge to start a desysopping process on this issue. If I'm not mistaken, some . It's enough to check the previous thread to see what dictates his admin actions. --<font color="FC4339">]</font> <sup><font color="C98726">]</font></sup> 07:47, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
::Desysopping is grossly excessive. There's no evidence that Betacommand acted in anything other than good faith in blocking a user he believed was being uncivil towards another user. I'm a regular on IRC and all the admins I know won't block just because a friend asks them for a block, they are always conscious about following the rules, whether it be warnings for vandalism, warnings for spam or ensuring there is truth to any allegation made of any other user. If a totally unknown user posted a complaint about Irpen on IRC or on Misplaced Pages and Betacommand was about, I know Betacommand would act in the same manner. I also think the block was justified but can accept that a lack of prior warnings over Irpens conduct is a concern here. --<font color="#27408B" size="2">'''Kind Regards - '''] | ] | ]</font> 08:31, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
:::A 48-hour-block for an established contributor with no previous history of civility blocks was justified? Justified by what? Sorry, I don't follow your line of thought. --<font color="FC4339">]</font> <sup><font color="C98726">]</font></sup> 08:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Irpen's conduct towards Peter on ] - Totally unacceptable in my opinion. Irpen has avoided blocks before but he's certainly not an innocent party in this, he was spotted removing civility warnings from another users talk page by Cyde earlier on yesterday too. --<font color="#27408B" size="2">'''Kind Regards - '''] | ] | ]</font> 08:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
