[edit] Statement of the dispute

This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.

[edit] Description

First and foremost, I must apologise with calling Deathrocker a vandal. This is to highlight his extensive block log, and is not an attack.

I was first brought to this dispute 5 weeks ago while patrolling The 3RR noticeboard. Both users had violated WP:3RR, so it was a clear-cut case of a block. I extended the block to about 32 hours, listing my reason as 3RR, and to cool down.

On Tuesday (14 March 2006), I had recieved a message from Leyasu while just going to make a change to an article. This was then followed by Deathrocker with accusations of Leyasu "bullshitting" me. I later received diffs of this dispute. Deathrocker was not the only one attacking. Leyasu also made comments about him vandalising my talk page.

After two days, I blocked both users. Leyasu, for Arbcom breach, Deathrocker, for gross 3RR violation. I admit I may have been biased to Leyasu by asking if there was any chance of baiting by Deathrocker.

Deathrocker, however, was not happy with my block. He continually requested an unblock, stating I was abusing my admin powers for blocking him for more than a day. I've been backed by several prominent users, Essjay, who said the block was fair. Tawker said that he had an outburst on IRC, but Deathrocker denies this. Because of this disruption, he was blocked until Easter.

This case highlights his negative behaviour over the past 6 weeks.
