[edit] Sarah777
I realize that you're putting a lot of effort Major Bonkers (talk ยท contribs) into getting User:Sarah777 unblocked, but please be careful not to overstate the case. There was a clear consensus for blocking and keeping her blocked, both at her talkpage, and at WP:AN. So when you say things like "We are all agreed", it looks like a bit of an attempt to do an end-run around the consensus process. I am especially concerned, since it appears that this is your only activity on Wikipedia these days. So could I please ask you to back off a bit? You are still welcome to participate in the discussion, but please be very cautious about trying to declare what is or isn't consensus. --Elonka 17:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for yours. To be fair to myself, I'm not sure that I am 'putting a lot of effort' into unblocking Sarah; I'm not an Admin, so I can't magically unblock; all that I am doing, in my humble way, is to try to achieve some sort of a consensus as to the conditions required for an unblock; something which, at the time that I was writing, no-one else was doing. As SirFozzie, the blocking Admin, pointed out, it was an indefinite block, not a permanent block. It was my intention that, on her Talk page (where she can participate) we could hammer out some principles before again approaching WP:ANI. My reference to 'we' was therefore to those participating in the discussion and not designed to exclude you or anyone else (although two other editors in that discussion seem to have got completely the wrong end of the stick).
- As you have probably noticed, I've been on a trip to Poland and, although recently returned, found the same 'business as usual' so dispiriting that I haven't really had the heart to volunteer/ waste more of my time and left the 'Wikibreak' banner up. I'll back off a bit as you suggest but, frankly, a two-week block, which is what Sarah has served, is a pretty full punishment. I'd encourage you to read all my contributions on l'affaire Sarah (from my 'User Contributions' tag) to see where I'm coming from; I try to use language carefully, so I was slightly concerned that you might be reading into my posts meanings, and attempts to bully consensus, that aren't there and were not intended. Thank you again for your post. --Major Bonkers (talk) 09:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
