::My point, Bugler, is that it does nothing good for you or anybody to come on this page and call people "leftist malcontents, saboteurs, infiltrators and parodists."  If somebody comes here and accuses you of bullying and abuse, '''whether or not it is true,''' it severely weakens your case to some here and call names.  For example, let's work with the assumption that BRichtigen is a troll.  I'm not saying he is or isn't, but let's use the assumption.  He posts some complaints about you.  Were he a troll, they would likely not be genuine, or maybe he baited you, or whatever.  If you come here and continue to verbally flog him, it builds sympathy for him and destroys any case you might have.  So even if BRichtigen gets permabanned, your credibility is weakened.  You're bigger than this, Bugler.  [[User:Corry|Corry]] 13:16, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm feeling relieved that Philip J. Rayment as an administrator stated <i> "No, ''Mind your own business'' is not a reasonable answer, the second block appears unjustified, and the quote from Martin Niemoeller is very apt."</i><p>

But the procedure of appealing a block is somewhat lacking: writing a complaint on an abuse site and waiting that some sysops may (or may not) answer does work for a small blog with a couple of writers, but this is a wiki with some 20,000 registered editors. IMO it's to huge to rely on such informal a method... Especially the less prolific editors - like me - may fear to be ignored. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 14:18, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
