→Your block
I hope you will accept that I have not deliberately tried to edit conflict you; that is not my style. I say what I think, to you and to others. And the block was not intended to block you: I knew you would revert it post-haste. It was to get a breathing space to remove damaging saboteurs from the site. Saboteurs who you have since restored to grace. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 15:31, 16 November 2008 (EST)

:I cannot remember whether you have reverted any of my blocks. Given what you say, I presume you disapprove of Tim's high handed action yesterday (and before, regarding Daphnea), and PJR's similar actions towards me in the past. For the rceord, Jpatt is one of the best new editors and sysop-lites we have here. He should be encouraged and cherished, not subjected to beastings.

::(It again took you three edits to say what you think; if you instead use the preview button, you don't run the risk of edit conflicted other users multiple times)
::For starters, how did I not adequately explain why it was wrong for Jpatt to undo my block? You gave no explanation.
::Secondly, if you think my blocks are lenient, there's nothing stopping you from ''asking me about it''. There is way too much overeager blocking on this site; shame on me if I follow the letter of the law. That gives no excuse for someone else to change it without asking me. (You will notice that they never recreated their account).
::Thirdly, I can tell you that I have never undone any other editor's blocks, unless the blocks were obvious vandalism (Like MexMax) or if they were joking (like Bohdan last night).
::Fourthly, if you read what I wrote, I clearly said that I have no problem with a ''sysop'' going over the head of a normal editor. You and I are both editors, and Tim and PJR are both sysops. I don't know about Daphnea, but seeing as how you didn't undo a single one of HotDog's edits, you didn't really have a case there anyway, did you? I'd also be surprised if PJR undid a block without any explanation, but again, as a sysop it's entirely within his rights.
::Lastly, I have no responsibility to encourage or cherish someone for doing something they had no right to do. Had Jpatt asked me, I would have said "Thank you for asking Jpatt, here's my explanation." He showed no respect for me, and I had no obligation to give him any in return.
