Evidence pages

What should be done with evidence sub-pages once an ArbCom case is over? I've got this one, and I'm concerned about this one which contains misrepresentations; I'd like to see it deleted or at least courtesy blanked. Thanks! Dreadstar ☥ 00:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

As they're technically eviudence pages, they need to be preserved somehow (even if they're incorrect). Perhaps the best route forward here is to ask Will to courtesy blank. I doubt if he'll object; he's a reasonable guy.  Roger Davies 15:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Roger, I'll ask Will! Dreadstar ☥ 15:35, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

LOL about the ES! I've actually addressed that in the first bullet point at the top of this page. Funny! Dreadstar ☥ 16:06, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

WBB is refusing to courtesy blank the evidence page, claiming it might be useful in the future unless I restrict myself to some kind of exception that "might be made if the party committed to not being involved in the topic in any way again." . Is there such an "exception"? Dreadstar ☥ 00:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't know there was a back-discussion. I asked Dreadstar why he wanted the material blanked and he didn't answer. I haven't refused to do anything. We were discussing it and then Dreadstar gave a sarcastic reply and banned me from his talk page. Whatever problem there is, this doesn't seem like a productive way of resolving it. If there is a general blanking of the ArbCom case then of course I'd be happy to blank all of the relevant evidence pages.   Will Beback  talk  00:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

See my post on WBB's page. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Rlevse, if you have a message intended for Dreadstar I suggest you leave a copy on his page.   Will Beback  talk  02:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

My last post here was for Roger. As for not posting on Dread's page, I didn't see the need since you two are obviously keeping close eye on each other's talk pages and I've already posted on yours. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, I gave WBB a sarcastic reply, I asked a simple ‘yes or no question’ involving a concept known as “courtesy” and instead WBB answers by trotting out a whole dog and pony show replete with McCarthy-era style questions and accusations – so absolutely I responded sarcastically to that BS, what would one expect? Meh, he can keep the page un-blanked, it’ll never do him any good either way. My question was one of courtesy, not re-igniting the entire TM ArbCom case again, ridiculous. WBB didn’t really ask me why I wanted it blanked, but if he had, the answer would have been, ”Um, well, something called ‘courtesy'’”: “(2 b : consideration, cooperation, and generosity in providing something (as a gift or privilege)”. I just don't need WBB's kind of behaviour on my talk page. Sorry to have brought this to your page, Roger, my bad. Dreadstar ☥ 19:26, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand why this is still being pursued. I did ask politely why Dreadstar wanted the page deleted. In response: he banished me from his talk page. (I also don't understand Dreadstar's need to delete comments from his talk page immediately, or to archive it so strangely in two places, but I don't criticize him for it - he shouldn't be complaining about my preference to respond on user's talk pages.) I haven't engaged in any inappropriate behavior, nor has Dreadstar to the best of my knowledge. I'd be happy to let this drop, and I hope Dreadstar will let it go too.   Will Beback  talk  04:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I must say I'm rather disappointed by how sour this discussion has become, especially between admins. What happened to AGF?  Roger Davies 07:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I'm so sorry to disapoint you by pushing back against creins like Will Beback. No worries, I won't bother again. Dreadstar ☥ 20:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
