→‎Dean's response: Arguments not supported.
Line 278: Line 278:  
Even if Philip disagreed with my block, I don't think he should have undid my block. As noted above, I believe my blocks were justified. I believe Philip is abusing his power by unblocking another admin's block. Since my block should not have been reversed in the first place, I am reinstituting the block. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 10:38, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

:It's not whether if you feel your block is justified, it is if you followed blocking policy. Last I saw, MYOB [http://www.conservapedia.com/MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown IS NOT] a common block reason, though I remember you blocking quite a few editors with the block reason as "MYOB" with regards to questionable blocks on other users. The entire event could have been avoided if you weren't so rude to Jirby as to cause him to run to another administrator for help and explained in a respectful tone.  Now you have to make this huge response and argue with another admin simply because you failed to show respect.

: "''Jirby is not an innocent bystander''":  Yet you fail to show that.  Okay, so he complained about some articles.  But perhaps those complaints were legitimate?  Since when does complaining about articles in and of itself make one guilty?
 +
: "''Jirby should be making positive contributions to Conservapedia''":  Again, you have failed to show that he was not.
 +
: "''...not complaining about another editor's block''":  Why not?  If we see injustice, it is our ''responsibility'' to do something about that.
 +
: "''He is not "Minding his own business".''":  So?  There's no rule that says that he must.
 +
: "''...I don't appreciate other editors going around questioning our decisions instead of editing''":  It's clear that you don't appreciate it, but that doesn't meant that there's anything wrong with it.
 +
: "''To me, Jirby is being a troublemaker and needs to get back to editing.''":  To me, he's (a) questioning an alleged injustice and (b) objecting to the way he was spoken to.  Neither of which there is anything wrong with.  You've provided no evidence of him making trouble, unless "troublemaker" means doing things that you don't like.
 +
: "''I don't feel editors should run to other admins and complain about things they never should have been involved in the first place.''":  Yet there is no rule that says that they should never have been involved in it in the first place, and he wasn't actually raising the original complaint with me anyway.
 +
: "''To me, this contradicts Philip's statement''":  Yet you have not shown any contradiction.
 +
: "''To me it's a tattletale childlike behavior, "Mommy, Joey did this" and "Mommy, Joey did that."''":  Then I guess that we should abolish all ombudsmen, all anti-corruption bodies, and all police ethical standards bodies, because complaining about unacceptable behavior by those in charge amounts to "childish tattletale".
