I don't think this rises to an ArbCom situation, but I'm not sure what the current mores are on Wikipedia. I put something relatively rude on my userpage (I put up a version of the "Counter Vandalism Unit" userbox with the text "The Cunctator is a non-member of the Retarded Fascism Unit").
Drini removed the box without any warning or discussion.
I put it back, asking him not to edit my page.
Drini removed the box again without any warning or discussion.
I put it back, leaving a message at his user_talk asking him not to edit my page and to discuss the matter at my user_talk page, and protected my userpage.
Drini removed the box again without any warning.
I don't really mind, but my understanding is that Drini's actions were rude as well. I'd like to be able to express my opinions on my homepage with a reasonable lack of censorship.
ok, let's get things straight: 1. I did remove the rude userbox 21:13, 4 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThe_Cunctator&diff=3819...
2. Then you put it back: 19:50, 5 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThe_Cunctator&diff=3834...
3. And left the note on my page: 20:01, 5 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADrini&diff=3835117...
4: I proceeded to remove it again... 20:53, 5 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThe_Cunctator&diff=3835...
5. ...explaining VERY politely my reasons on his talk page 20:59, 5 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AThe_Cunctator&diff...
6. Then he puts it back: 03:45, 6 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThe_Cunctator&diff=3841... (and he never replied me back)
(....) fast forward
7. He puts a less rude version 15:11, 6 February 2006 : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_Cunctator&diff=next&a... and even though he namecalls me a jerk
8. He apologizes later 15:17, 6 February 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADrini&diff=3846926...
I'm sorry if I came as rude, and I didn't mean to editwar. I was just being firm in that such namecalling was uncalled for.
For the record I also commented what I was doing on WP:AN/I: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noti... which by he way, was inmediately attacked by several new accounts. Well, that's what happened.
