==Blocked by Ed Poor==
  −
I would like to complain about my recent block from Edpoor.... The block reason states that I was blocked for [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:DrCB insult] But [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADrCB&diff=423551&oldid=422078 this] message shows another motive.  I was blocked because I "insulted" Edpoor's friend TK.  The edit in question is [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Europeanunion&diff=prev&oldid=421684 this message] to a user.  I simply stated my opinion.  I did not "insult" TK.  Also, I find the very flimsy excuse of "last dozen or so contributions (being) talk" as thinly veiled at best.  I sent the sysop the following message  via email:
  −
  −
    Please forgive me if this is comes across as hostile, it's not meant to...
  −
    But I feel you are mistaken. Of my 20 posts this site, they are categorized
  −
    as the following:
  −
  *2 Changes to my user page
  −
  *2 changes to the Al Franken page (one which is simply correcting a typo I
  −
      missed)
  −
  *6 Changes to Main page talk
  −
  *1 Message to Mr Schlafly
  −
  *2 Messages to Crocite pointing out a violation of rules
  −
  *2 Posts to the Bob Jones University Page (again, one correction of a
  −
      mistake)
  −
  *1 Message to Bohdan asking about how things work here
  −
  *1 Post to the Marijuana talk page to request a change (the page is blocked)
  −
  *1 Change to the Schlockumentary page (removing red links)
  −
  *1 Changes to the Lawrence V Texas page where I added a brand new summary to
  −
    the top of the article for clarity and 1 message to EuropeanUnion
  −
    The last post is obviously the one I got blocked for, and forgive me saying
  −
    this... But that is completely hypocritical. I simply expressed my opinion
  −
    to another user, I didn't broadcast it on the main page, I didn't insult TK
  −
    on his userpage, I simply offered advice to a new user.
  −
   
  −
I would also like to say, Sir, that I find it funny that I'm getting blocked
  −
for insulting TK when he himself as given free run to insult and patronize
  −
anyone he gets the urge to. As I look at other postings, I find it clear
  −
that you are friends, but I don't think revenge blocks because someone posts
  −
something bad about one of your friends is very democratic.</blockquote>
  −
  −
The response I got, in my opinion, reveals the motives even more:
  −
  −
    "In other words, you're prepared to take it back and apologize if reinstated?
  −
    Uncle Ed"
  −
  −
To which I responded:
  −
  −
    "Under no circumstances. I have done nothing wrong here.  I simply gave another user an
  −
    honest example of my opinion as regarding another user.  I see no reason to apologize.  My
  −
    last dozen edits were not all talk.  As a matter of fact, even when you take out the
  −
    doubles for correction and leave the non-talk talk posts, my posts are 5/20 or 25% main
  −
    space edits.  I would rather sit out the three days that give in to the fact that TK is
  −
    invincible and can do what he pleases but if another user says anything unflattering about
  −
    him they get blocked."</blockquote>
  −
  −
I'm appalled at the blatant abuse of sysop power.  I was told that this was the formal page to complain about such matters and thought I would leave my messages here.  If there are any questions, feel free to leave them here or contact me through my email, which is enabled.

:'''Sysop reply:''' If you realize you were "insulting my friend" then you agree it was an insult? Anyway, today's comment ''you approach everything with such hostility'' violates [[Conservapedia:Avoid personal remarks]]. So come back next week if you want to help the project. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:32, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

:: Where did he "realize" that he was "insulting"?  He specifically denied doing so.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:54, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
  −
:::Might I ask why I was reverted and blocked for making the same statement that Phil did minutes later? My comment was about a potential misinterpretation of the OP's complaint which appears IMO to have resulted in it being ignored. Given that the whole purpose of the Desk is to deal with issues before they have an ongoing impact and therefore has an important place on CP, it would seem to me that attempting to clarify a posting is anything but "pointless arguing".

::::I thank everyone for their support. But I ask that the whole situation be dropped.  I don't think anything is going to come of this and I don't want anyone getting in trouble on my behalf.  Thank you [[User:DrCB|Doctor CB]][[User_Talk:DrCB|<sup>The Doctor is In</sup>]] 17:33, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
