The Day of Slack was supposed to last all year, but oh
well...
It would be a mistake to not take action and always
defer to the management on each special case -- truth
is most cases are what they are. Theres a reason why
referees let hockey players spill some blood on the
floor when a fight breaks out - and perhaps this
should be the temperment of anyone trying to break up
an edit war... (which I think are healthy, if they are
limited in time) It will never be as simple as
pressing a button to stop a heated discussion.
172 broke protocol -- Erik aint perfect -- whats the
big frickin stink about?

I am thankful for your handling sysop requests on
Wikipedia.
This does
not include your unsysoping people with whom you had
a
conflict,
without prior discussion on this list.
It is hardly accurate to describe my actions as
"unsysoping
people with
whom I had a conflict." As a matter of fact, I made
explicitly
clear in my
mail that I agreed with 172's assessment of the
changes to
[[Catholicism]]. What I did is try to enforce our
existing
Protected Page
policy. I will not do this in the future unless there
is a real
emergency
(a sysop protecting hundreds of pages without need
etc.).
Instead, I will
send a mail to Jimbo and he will then inform the list
if he
thinks a
decision is necessary.
Regards,
Erik
