I disagree with you. I think that posting an edit that includes a link to an attack site that attacks our editors, and then proceeding to discuss attacks on specific editors here violates WP:NPA and possibly WP:POINT. Crum375 03:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I wondered if you had noticed that this is an encyclopedia project. -- Tony Sidaway 11:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome to do so if you also advertise the page (e.g. on WP:RFC and/or the village pump) in order to get more feedback. However, I should point out that the page isn't really actionable; it gives some suggestions for people who want to protect their account, but there is no way we can make sure people are actually doing that (i.e. it's hardly "considered a standard that all users should follow"). >Radiant< 07:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[1] Well, I suppose you could always try... I might even ignore my personal policy of refusing to participate in that chicanery... Risker 23:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm removing your "proxy" support. I do want to see support for this position, but I want it to be from people who really mean it. They're evidently already (for whatever reason) reluctant to express it, and they'll be all the more so if it means seeming to agree with thinly-veiled sarcasm. — Steve Summit ( talk) 22:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Why push Mantanmoreland's buttons? That entire discussion has been extremely frustrating (it's been going on for 3 months now!) and half of what makes it frustrating is the pointless needling of people on either side of the debate - the removal of reasonable links, the insertion of deliberately provocative ones. I had had hopes that you might be a relatively sensible editor on this subject; it was very disappointing to find I had misperceived you. Risker 03:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry to say this but judging from your contribs, your support, as carefully and civil as it is formulated, seems like pointy sarcasm. If I'm mistaken here, please excuse my judgement. You see, there have been much more than enough uncivilities, personal attacks as well as single-purpose accounts and possibly meat and sock puppets for one RfA. Again, sorry if I'm being over-eager here, but I couldn't help reading some sarcasm into your comment. — AldeBaer 18:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I saw the reference on your user page, and the purge is occurring as we speak. Already someone has been banned using Wale's logic. [3] -- arkalochori |talk| 23:35, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I see that this account has been used primarily for disruption. Wikipedia is about building an encyclopedia, and this account wasn't being used for that purpose. To the reviewing administrator: this is a problem user. Do not unblock without discussing with me first, or achieving a clear consensus to unblock at WP:AN or WP:ANI. - Jehochman Talk 07:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I've just noticed I can't defend myself over there. That is messed up. It would be disingenuous, not to say ridiculous, to use "Amerique" to advocate for myself... what does my use of this account for political purposes matter if it's long been designated as such and as I've even attempted to clear up some incidents on my part that this account has been involved in? I don't go stalking people, nor do i bear any ill-will towards anyone here. I do admit I was trolling in some instances earlier but I've ceased doing that and if you notice this account has only become active after drama at WP:NPA starts up, by others, not by me, more or less as I feel a certain responsibility towards that page as I feel my prior activities, in forking the BADSITES text specifically, lead to the past year's various outrages re: "Attack sites" across en.wiki— AL FOCUS! 20:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Incidentally, you've got some kind of limited-duration ip-range block on "Amerique," so now I can't even edit mainspace. As I don't recall having ever dealt with you before I was willing to assume good faith initially on this but the block on Amerique definitely looks punitive. (Not that the block on "AL" wasn't. The "support" for this on ANI comes from everyone I've spoken out before in opposition to.) Unless you really want me to stop contributing to academic and regional articles altogether I request the block of "Amerique" be lifted immediately, whatever happens to this account.—

Regarding your request to have the block removed so that you can participate in the ArbCom case, 1) it hasn't been accepted yet and may not be, 2) blocked users can submit evidence to ArbCom by email, and 3) your Amerique account isn't blocked, so there's no reason why you couldn't use that in the event of the case being accepted. Regarding the block on Amerique, as I said, that account isn't blocked, and hasn't been, so there's nothing punitive about it. Amerique was simply caught in an autoblock. In fact, when it was pointed out to Jehochman that you had been blocked with the autoblock, he immediately unblocked you and reblocked with autoblock disabled. Unfortunately, he didn't think of actually undoing the existing autoblock. I have now done that.

:I've always been open about all my activities. There is nothing i could or would say in the ArbCase that requires the use of off-wiki links for evidence, as I don't comment on activities I do here on other sites elsewhere, nor have I commented about this site elsewhere. Using "Amerique" to defend "AL" would just be ridiculous, I think, as i took special effort not to co-mingle the activities of these two accounts. I would rather "AL" defend himself (this is
schizophrenic!) than really involve my "good side" in this.
A record at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive328#Academy_Leader_Blocked shows a discussion that I initiated to have the block reviewed. - Jehochman Talk 06:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
