Middletown, Connecticut

To the user who continues to edit out information on Middletown: Please register as a regular user of Misplaced Pages and engage the discussion on the talk page, as is Misplaced Pages custom in the handling of disputes. Do not engage in reckless deleting. Personally, in response to accusations about additions to the Middletown article being political, that simply isn't true, but it seems I touched on a nerve. That is not my intent; my intent was to add balanced material about the town history. "Whitewashing" town history to suit personal viewpoints isn't very historic. All references were drawn from sources directly attached to the Middletown city website; you can check it yourself. If you have quarrel with those sources, it should be taken up with the university whose computers you are now using, as Wesleyan is the source of the material paraphrased in the article.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 00:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I have restored the deleted material. Please do not remove properly referenced material, 129.133.124.199. If you disagree with another editor, talk with them instead of reverting. If there are further improper deletions your editing privileges may be temporarily removed. Thank you. Jehochman 00:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop removing referenced material, and discuss the matter at the aricle's talk page. And please be carefull not to post unsubstantiated accusations of "personal threats" as you did here. Thank you. — Edokter • Talk • 02:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Your link claiming to show me making personal threats doesn't show anything of the kind.

I did not say you made a personal threat; you were accusing Pgagnon999 of making a personal threat. — Edokter • Talk • 03:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Block

Editing by unregistered users from your shared IP address or address range may be currently disabled due to abuse. However, you are still able to edit if you sign in with an account. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, and cannot create one elsewhere in the foreseeable future, you may follow the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Request an account to request that volunteers create your username for you. Please use an email address issued to you by your ISP, school or organization so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user on this network. Please reference this block in the comment section of the form.

Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The block reason is blanking sourced material, bad faith accusations against fellow editors, and WP:POINT violation. You may create an account and continue editing if you choose to work cooperatively. Jehochman 03:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I made no bad faith accusations against any editors. You are on the wrong side here. Pgagnon999 has engaged in threats and intimidation here. I have not.

His first aggression is on the User talk page for 159.247.3.210 20:07, 31 December 2007 Pgagnon999 (Talk | contribs) m (4,859 bytes) (→Conflict of interest editing) (undo) His threat then was to alert sys admins for that ISP number.

That was assuming bad faith, using intimidation, it was also pushing POV. And just general hostility.

I have been responding to the bullying tactics of an unscrupulous and aggressive POV pusher.

I did blank his sourced material, because the sources were spurious. It was also after Pgagnon999 deleted sourced material that had been there for close to a year.

I am not asking for this to be block to be removed. You have already posted that you, Jehochman, do not intend to be neutral in this dispute.

You wre wrong, you live with it.

No sourced material was deleted from the article, as is evident from the revision history of the article (Middletown, Connecticut, plain and available for anyone to see for themselves; the article had no citations whatsoever before they were added by myself. No threats were made; revision history of talk pages reveal as much. Intense over-reaction on part of user.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Quoted material is sourced material. Your citations are to mediocre tertiary sources and distort and confuse---if not just get material just outright wrong. Your behavior was entirely threatening. Your first threat was to a sysadmin, your second was to "will contact admin for site block". ---The mere fact that your first resort is to check out everyone's IP address is YOUR hostility. Your behavior was extremely hostile and aggressive. You're little more than a thug. The history of the talk pages shows that ---despite the fact that you've tried to hide them by deleting them, (they're still there).

I could have investigated your ISP, I could have tried to talk an admin into banning you for your deletions, your aggression and the rest. I didn't because I have enough self-respect to not act like that.

I know it galls your sanctimonious self-image to have to face your own hostility, but that isn't my problem.
