For a banned from the mailing list... you appear quite present... Anthere John Bradley a écrit: _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

The more interesting question, to me, is why you've come back again to a list that has made it clear that you're not wanted. I'd respond to the rest of your e-mail, but it was sufficiently incoherent. Well, except for the part of there being no explanation. Perhaps you haven't noticed the general explanation for your sanction. See, you write abusive messages both via e-mail and on Wikipedia. You delete or yell at any attempts to discuss your behavior with you. You were given a chance to reflect and reform by Jimbo. You proceeded to launch more personal attacks, and the arbcom, to their credit, only gave you a three month ban anyway. Instead of backing off and recognizing that you've been pissing people off, and that you're the only one who sees what's happened to you as a grave injustice, you went to the mailing list and began sending incoherent screeds. When you got banned, again, you failed to recognize that there was a point that you could get, and you returned. And I'm sure, if you respond to this, it'll be with a flame. But, hell, why not try again. The simple fact of what's been going wrong for you is that your inability to take any clue, whether mildly or bluntly phrased, and recognize that your behavior is inappropriate. The fact that your reactions to these clues is to behave inappropriately aggravates the situation. But if you want to, you know, get and stay unbanned, not repeating the behavior that got you banned would be a wise start. -Snowspinner On Apr 27, 2005, at 6:13 AM, John Bradley wrote: _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

John Bradley (Johnb(a)ontobus.co.uk) [050516 00:59]: Should I ever run for anything, I eagerly hope for Irate to continue to tell people not to vote for me. (The "continued harrassment" appears to be blocking him on #wikipedia for impersonating me on IRC. Apparently Tim Starling should never have been given admin powers either, for blocking him for the same reason on #wikimedia-tech. Goodness!) - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Aren't you banned yet? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Bradley" <Johnb(a)ontobus.co.uk>

Hi I have been accused by David Gerard of being the number, for some reason. This is more to do with Gerard continued harasment of me (User Irate) and his need to appear to be protected you lot from things you do not understand. Her is the news it is Gerard that does not understand anything excpect manipulation. Vote any way you like but don't vote gerard.

And AFAIK, there are no elections in Australia (which is David's home country), so unless David is running against John Bolton for US Ambassador to the UN (the only vote I know of that's impending), what office exactly *is* David Gerard running/standing for?
