[WikiEN-l] re: Viking ban

[Karim Moussally]

Just a little note.

In the interest of fairness I wanted to state that it may not be strictly 
true that no one objects to the ban on User:Viking. I believe User:Triton 
may. The following is from Triton on my Talk page (now archived at User 
Talk:Dante Alighieri/clovis et al.):

Take a look now at the new way of humiliating a user. A new file has been 
made called <http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Viking/ban>User 
talk:Viking/ban that will keep showing up on the Recent Changes list as 
many times as their attacker(s) wish. When someone not involved sees that, 
what is the impression of UserViking?

Now, I don't know for CERTAIN that this means Triton objects to the ban, 
but I certainly would want to give Triton the chance to clarify himself. I 
wouldn't want his comments to go unheard and risk us banning Viking without 
giving anyone who cares to defend him a chance to do so.

Let's not ban Viking until we give Triton a clear chance to voice himself. 
I would hate for Triton to go unheard.
