I am currently busy in real life, so I am not taking on anything new at the moment. I will still try and deal with messages left here but please be aware that it may take me a while.

Hello! Welcome to my talk page, feel free to leave a message for me at the bottom of this page, using a new heading for new topics. Please try and use descriptive headers, as it helps with my archiving (I reserve the right to change the header for this purpose).

Disruption

You threatened to block somebody for disruption, citing "personal attacks."

While I am no defender of personal attacks, "disruption" means "making the encyclopedia difficult to edit or read." The guideline is quite clear that PA -- even repeated PA -- does not constitute disruption. Disruption would be things like erasing large blocks of text, adding large blocks of random text, messing with system functions, etc. If someone can simply skim over a distasteful comment, and continue on his way, then that's not disruption.

Whilst I'm no longer actively editing Misplaced Pages (including use of admin functions) I still feel I'd better reply to your message. In short I disagree. Your description of disruption sounds like vandalism, which is one form of disruption to Misplaced Pages that results in blocks. However, blocks for personal attacks are also fully supported by the blocking policy: "Protection... Persistent personal attacks". "Disruption... their conduct is inconsistent with a civil, collegial atmosphere and interferes with the process of editors working together harmoniously to create an encyclopedia." I don't find anything that supports "The guideline is quite clear that PA -- even repeated PA -- does not constitute disruption."
I think personal attacks fits the descriptions above pretty well, and admins routinly block for personal attacks with support from the community. Some editors take them far more seriously than others, and whilst some just skim over them, others will leave the project because of receiving them. That certainly is disruptive.
Incidentally the message you say was a standard template, {{npa4}}, so if you disagree with it you should be raising the issue on the relevant template talk page. Petros471 12:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

My user page

did you edit my user page? It has you on the history.HHS.student 15:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I edited your page, but only to revert it to the last version you edited. You can see the changes I made by comparing versions in the history. The edit before mine was by an IP, looking like they were vandalising your userpage. Petros471 15:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
