I saw this log recently. Apparently [[User:Lumberjake]], a new editor,
got
confused with me (Lord knows why) and indef-blocked based on "evidence
from
IRC". His contribs were legitimate, and apparently he used a proxy that
I
once used, or something to that effect.
There's the log. I was pretty shocked by this, not only because of the blatant trolling by the blocking admin, but because of a general
realization
I had.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
Thus, anything not pertinent to building an encyclopedia should be discouraged, and *certainly* not accepted as general M.O. for admins, right? Right?
Apparently not. It seems that, once again, the ridiculously high
emotional
investment in the project turns it from an occasional hobby into a
violent
drama-pit where sysops stroke their egos, users whine about anything
they
can, and the few users who actually try to get anything done are
harassed
and blocked by the majority who don't.
You really need to get your priorities straight.
Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try
it
now. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Er, John those logs are not good reading at all. What were you thinking? You're supposed to be an op, please set an example and not do things like that.
