Would you like to discuss this? I am interested in maintaining NPOV on that article, but I feel you've pushed too far in one direction. For example, you said that the existence of the war on Christmas is "allegedly disputed". It really is disputed, that's a fact. There are numerous citations in the article pointing to articles in which it's existence is disputed. Let's talk, rather than just change each other's edits, ok? Come on over to Talk:War on Christmas; I'll see you there. -GTBacchus 23:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Because admins have the latitude to block people for disruption of Misplaced Pages, I am blocking you for thirty minutes for the way you're running around posting spammy links to people's talk pages. (See WP:SPAM#Internal spamming.) You may wait out the thirty minutes, or promise that you'll be a little slower on that trigger finger and I will unblock you.

- I'll edit slower, now unblock me or I'll report you for abusing admin powers--Diatrobica;l 23:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Why haven't I been unblocked yet?--Diatrobica;l 23:23, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
You haven't been unblocked yet because I am a user, not a bot. Did you expect me to get back to you in 90 seconds?
You also haven't been unblocked because you still have a hostile attitude, and because you still haven't assured me to be "slower on the trigger finger." I don't want you to promise to "edit slower." What I mean is, your going around to talk pages of unrelated users is inappropriate. You need to indicate that you'll stop doing this, and won't do so again in the future.
And feel free to report me. I just reported myself to check with other admins. That's another reason you haven't been unblocked, yet. I was busy checking with other people to make sure I was being fair to you. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 23:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I was going to warn you, but the block is in order too. Don't spam users. Don't use sockpuppets. It's easy, go and write some articles. dab (ᛏ) 23:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Also, you were not blocked for your political views. I haven't even read about your political views, yet, but from my first impression, I probably agree with you. I blocked you for disrupting Misplaced Pages by cross-posting a message to the talk pages of many users who are probably not interested. Since you made this post, I'm insisting that you state "I understand that I was blocked for my behavior and not for my political views" before I will unblock you.

I haven't broken any laws, or said anything wrong
Why was I blocked/? Is there any justifiation for this block??? AT ALL??? Just a rogue admin??????--Diatrobica;l 23:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Diatrobical - let me share something I've learned with you. Making a lot of noise, even if you're certain you're right, is a really bad way to make an impression here. People who get their way on Misplaced Pages do it by showing themselves to be champions of reasoned discussion, patience, and consensus building. Please, if you want to influence the content of Misplaced Pages, make an effort to speak the native language, or you'll just be run out on a rail. It happens all the time, but it's so easy to avoid just by treating everyone very respectfully. Civility and cooperation is so rewarding, I promise. -GTBacchus 23:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
