Many have expressed their own points of view with great clarify.
Danny has been party to the discussion and he has either heard and
understood these points of view, or he has not. Either way, it is
unlikely that further reiteration will change that much.
Similarly, the discussion may or may not influence his future
activities, but whatever that influence may be, it is probably
complete, and extending the discussion will probably not have much
affect on his future actions.
I suggest the topic be put to rest.
Well, I'd still like to see some actual policy clarification come out of
this. For exmaple, [[Wikipedia:Office Actions]] says:
If you are unsure whether an action by User:Dannyisme
or User:Danny
is performed under this policy, contact him privately to confirm.
I think it would be better at this point to declare that Dannyisme and
Dannyisme _alone_ is the Office account, and that nobody should have any
obligation to double-check whether a plain old Danny action is
Office-related. If Danny subsequently accidentally uses the wrong
account for an edit it'd be his bad, not anyone else's, and nobody
should be at risk of a surprise thwacking for reverting it. Or even
better, also change the Dannyisme account to some less ambiguous name
like [[User:Office Action]] to divest it of its "Dannyness" entirely.
Just kicking around some ideas for how to prevent future problems along
these lines, since [[Fleshlight]] itself appears to be heading back into
conventional editing territory now.
