However, talk pages are shown on Google, and block logs aren't... and
it is entirely conceivable that a banned user might not want the fact
that he or she is banned to show up on Google.
C'mon, this is ridiculous in pretty much all cases of username blocks
(which is how this came up). How is it going to hurt someone for a
block notice to show up when someone searches google for
"godhateswikipedians"?
It might not matter in that case, but it does matter for those of us
using real names or long-standing pseudonyms. Why should it bother
anyone? It is less work to not have to put anything on the user's
talk page.
Insane doesn't imply bad, but it should imply
being put on moderation.
Well, I hate to say it, but my insanity in a way Wikipaedia-induced...
not in the sense that Wikipaedia is in any way the root problem, but
in the sense that Wikipaedia destabilised the balance between total
memory suppression and not being able to go one waking hour without
reliving one's worst memories (and yes, there is a balance between
those things).
