Reducing comments from sockpuppet of long-time WP:BANNED editor User:Karmaisking. Ignore his baseless accusations
Blue is being harrassed and wikilawyered off WP. The stalking is obvious. But this does not excuse his more extreme language and I'm sure he will promise to keep his temper under control in future. Please don't ban him for this isolated outburst. He obviously has a lot to contribute, as can be seen by the references and considered arguments he has brought to the talk pages. Now let's all forget about this ridiculous waste of time and let's get on improving the mainpage. Thanks. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.73.47.21 (talkcontribs)
When editors are unwilling to resolve disputes through civil conversation, then the next step is to go through more formal mediation processes such as this. Several editors have expressed concern with BlueRobe's behavior, and have exhausted other avenues of dispute resolution. This RFC/U is not a "ridiculous waste of time" -- it's an important step in our conflict-resolution process. The issue will be resolved when he makes it clear that he understands that he has been uncivil, and promises to interact respectfully with other editors and provide reliable sources to back up content. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 08:55, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you supply evidence of the off wiki stalking? That's a very serious claim and if there is nothing to back it up I'd be inclined to see it stricken.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 13:19, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, 114.73.47.21 is there another ip or account you've edited under? All of your contribs seem to revolve directly around BlueRobe and are all related to this specific discussion across a myriad of forums. You seem to interact well with the editor in question and I would like to see some examples of how you have collaborated in the past to form the basis for your endorsement of BlueRobe's behavior and how it differs from your direct experiences in working with BlueRobe.--Torchwood Who?
