→BLOCK THIS GUY!!!!!!!!
:Done, but you've been around long enough. Why don't you ask Andy for blocking rights? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:39, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

::I'm confident he would use block right appropriately, but Andy might be hesitant to give the privilage to Sam. Sam has been in a number of disputes, and has been banned a few times as well. I'd support Sam getting the privilege, (I'd say he's more than earned it since I've been here alone, nevermind all the time before that) but I don't know if it could happen. Besides, aren't privileges generally given, not requested? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 21:09, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

:::David, you have hit the nail right on the head. Blocking rights are given, not requested. And my long career here is full of blocks (19 of them), including blocks by people who were later revealed to be vandals or parodists: DanielPulido and the notorious Markman. And illicit blocks by "assistants" over content disputes. (I seem to have a knack for upsetting bullies.) And several blocks by my friend Conservative; we get along much better now. And two by Ed Poor himself; I think we get along much better now; I won't bore you with the details. When you've been around as long as I have, you develop a history.
:::I have no interest in getting any special powers. I like to think of myself as a "conscientious objector" in these wars. People know that if they wrongly block me, I can't and won't fight back. But others will (hopefully) undo the damage. I think a lot of people respect me.
:::But when big vandal attacks come along, and I can't get anyone else to take action, that's when I wish I had block powers.
:::Thanks to both of you for your kind words. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 18:43, 28 June 2017 (EDT)
