Thread:Project:Current issues/User:MZMcBride and sysopping of User:Fram/reply (16)

No, Jasper Deng, that's not the justification (or this place is even worse than I thought). I was blocked for a few edits (and my talk page access removed without good reason). Correctly or not, done is done. The next day, after my block expired, I made two posts, one on the talk page of Status, to which Jdforrester eventually replied (in an adult manner, actually discussing the contents and looking at the merits or lack thereof), and one on my own talk page. Which of those gave cause to think that I would disrupt MediaWiki? You and a few others seem to have the policy that people here hardly get a first chance, and never get a second chance. What's the point of a one-day block if you are going to topic ban or indef block the editor anyway, no matter how he acts after the initial block has expired?

It's not as if I was some run-of-the-mill vandal with nothing to contribute. You didn't like the way I expressed my points, fine, I get that by now. I didn't like the way I was treated either, big deal. But I made basically correct, pertinent remarks about VE which all the people engaged in the blocking and silencing tried very hard to ignore, and if that doesn't work they want to topic ban me from discussing VE. For what reason? If you can't handle criticism, don't work at a wiki. But I fail to see how silencing the one person that found actual problems will in any way or shape improve VE.
