Look, I am not the one who made this site's rules (although I do support and identify with them and will vigorously uphold them), I'm just here to enforce them, and the fact is that HaroldWest was in dire violation of the 90/10 rule by the time I contacted him (I'm glad that he decided to start contributing afterwards). Most other wikis are rampant with [[Talk pollution]] and we don't want the same thing happening to our encyclopedia.

As for the idea that Conservapedia's user base lacks courtesy, I couldn't disagree with you any further. Granted, new users are somewhat treated with suspicion, but that's simply because we are under constant attack from vandals coming from another website which is not worthy of being mentioned here. Once a person proves that he's not a vandal and not a troll he's warmly welcomed by the site's administrations. There was not even a single time in which any of admins treated with anything other than respect.

I also don't see how you came up with the idea that there's an abuse of power by the admins and users with blocking rights. Other than that one instance when a user with blocking rights turned out to be a troll and blocked me and several admins (he was quickly reverted) I haven't seen even one example of abuse of power on this website. What would any one even gain by abusing his power anyway? It's not like anybody is making money from editing Conservapedia or can extract favors from other users. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 21:12, 23 February 2013 (EST)
