It's mutual respect like that that makes the fun such worthwhile.

Therefore an offer, well, three offers:

a. treat you like any other editor b. make sure that you are on any vandalism lists (or at least ones I consider examples of my finest work) so that you get to see it c. leave yourself and your talk page entirely left alone.

What's it to be, buddy?

Funny perhaps, but not unique or special, far from respect mutual or otherwise. I see stuff like that all day long. Frankly you are one of thousands and I have no interest in any of your offers. You are not yet ready young grasshopper.

Remember that the key to a successful troll is to do something new and clever, to actually fool somebody. Sheer stick–to–itiveness or determination is not enough, and a posting that has zero % chance of being taken seriously by anyone isn't going to make much of a mark.

There are trolls who I respect but it takes more than eliciting a chuckle to gain my respect. Really Wikipedia is low hanging fruit better suited for an amateur troll to practice on than make a real mark. Perhaps try a target that is not troll central and you will have a chance to stand out in the crowd. Let me know if you do something impressive.

Hi and happy new year. Writing you because you previously closed this report where the editor almost got a boomerang for playing tricks with the user he was reporting by, among other things, deleting his talk page comments on Talk:Laff (TV network). Now, after the incident is gone from WP:ANI, what does he do? He just does it again. I already left a stern warning on his talk page. Do you think it would be appropriate to re-open the ANI report at this time? Multiple editors considered the behavior pretty much unacceptable the first time around... continuing it now just seems like treating other people as fools.

I wasn't questioning your close, for the record. The issue had lingered and while there were some people wanting a boomerang, Electricburst1996 had stepped back and everything, and "stale" was the right assessment.

I don't want to be dismissive about your concerns, however this is the type of close that would have resulted in people complaining about the outcome regardless of how it was closed.

While it is possible another closer may have found to to be no consensus I think the close that did happen was a reasonable interpretation of the debate. I think that if this close was challenged at AN it would be upheld, however I have been wrong about these things before.

OK thanks for that. But on a more general point, are "per somebody" !votes commonly given less weight? That in the closing remark, and to me it didn't seem particularity fair or logical, and also without basis in policy/guidelines as far as I could work out. I can't see the point in everybody being made to repeat previous arguments to be properly accepted. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 18:07, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-01-05T18:07:00.000Z","author":"Mrjulesd","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Mrjulesd-2016-01-05T18:07:00.000Z-HighInBC-2016-01-05T18:01:00.000Z","replies":["c-HighInBC-2016-01-05T18:12:00.000Z-Mrjulesd-2016-01-05T18:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"--Jules"}}-->

Another way of looking at the same thing is that people who introduce new information tend to get more weight. "Per Bob" essentially boosts Bob's position without introducing another position. It is not about repeating information, that would be no better, it is about what each person brings to the table. While not exactly how I would have weighted things it seems to be a reasonable interpretation of the debate.

I was going to propose an alternate format of discussion and I was going to use your RfA to create a dummy version of what I had in mind.

@C.Fred: This is not block evasion because the user has an unblocked account which she can edit from any time she wants. It's standard practice, when an editor has more than one account, to block all but one because she doesn't need them.

Hi HighInBC, I had been reported to UAA in December and it was concluded my name is not a blatant violation of policies (your edit on my talkpage here [4]). Now someone else reported me to UAA, am I to understand now that I get "checked" over and over at UAA (whereas consensus would now seem to be the right place). Anyway, I mentioned at UAA I, or rather, my name had been discussed before at UAA, so I do not understand: can any admin block my name now, as this "bringing-to-UAA" has been doen before already (and was dismissed)?

• I dismissed the report, but that is not the same as determining your name is ok. If you want to put the matter to bed you can request review at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names, until then the matter is unresolved. At RFCU a consensus can form, whereas at UAA it is just the opinion of 1 admin.

• If you create a thread at RFCN and then post at UAA next to your report that you have done so then I don't think any admin will act on it until the RFC has come to a conclusion.

It is not that uncommon for people to report themselves when others are complaining about it. I was brought there for my name once by somebody, but people were okay with it.

@Ihardlythinkso: Amazing how you don't want to talk with me, but you are okay talking about me[5]. Also amazing how you accuse me of not responding, then in the very next sentence complain about my response.

I am realizing now the part of the question that you were upset about me not answering. To answer your question, no I don't think 2 incidences 8 years apart constitute a pattern.

Ah, thank you. So much to remember. HighInBC 06:01, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-01-21T06:01:00.000Z","author":"HighInBC","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-HighInBC-2016-01-21T06:01:00.000Z-Nathan2055-2016-01-21T06:00:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

But this is not quite true, ist it? As you and I both know, it is considered extremely bad form for admins to defend themselves even in the severest of PA. IHTS knows it too, and it has been his long term strategy for years to male attacks that just stay under the radar, in order to undermine all systems of the project's management. Diffs abound, not to mention the massive WP:POLEMIC on his user page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-01-21T08:50:00.000Z","author":"Kudpung","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kudpung-2016-01-21T08:50:00.000Z-Involved","replies":["c-HighInBC-2016-01-21T15:50:00.000Z-Kudpung-2016-01-21T08:50:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Kudpung \u0e01\u0e38\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e36\u0e49\u0e07"}}-->

While it is a widely held belief that if a person attacks an admin that the admin is involved it is simply not true. WP:INVOLVED says One important caveat is that an administrator who has interacted with an editor or topic area purely in an administrative role, or whose prior involvements are minor or obvious edits which do not speak to bias, is not involved and is not prevented from acting in an administrative capacity in relation to that editor or topic area.

As far as I can tell Future has only acted in an administrative capacity with the banned user Vote X for change, and nothing Mr X can do is going to make him involved. Administrators become involved because of things they do, not because of things others do. Nobody gets to decide which admins are involved with them or not by tossing out insults or accusations. I am aware that IHTS may think this is true, but if they put the theory to the test they are in for a rude awakening.

I see your posts, no need to repeat yourself. I have no interest in engaging with a banned user, or anyone who chooses to engage in harassment. Frankly I hope the foundation takes some sort of action against you.
