Really? You blocked me "preventatively" for a civil comment that ended with "This conversation is over". At worst, I was guilty of straying off topic, and I recognized it, so I ended the conversation; I even [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Doughney&diff=prev&oldid=271055286 apologized] to Mike for straying after he pointedly placed a "not a forum" template. After I did, the entire block was [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Saddleback_Church&diff=next&oldid=271054766 locked down] by another admin, ending the off-topic discussion. Note that [[User:Kevin]] detected no incivility, even though he's warned me for incivility before. Why? Because nothing I said was anything but civil. There was no problem here, no fire to put out. It was all handled, until you dragged it up as an excuse. |
|||
As for the second link, speaking the truth is not automatically uncivil, even when the truth is unpleasant. No rules broken; just an excuse for you to block me. |
|||
Somehow, I suspect that neither of these are relevant to why you blocked me. It seems more likely that I was blocked shortly after [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Doughney&diff=prev&oldid=271059937 this] observation about your penchant for excessive and apparently biased blocks. In short, you got angry at me first, then hunted through my contributions for an excuse to block me. The hint here is that, unlike a case of genuine incivility, where a reasonable admin would explain what the problem is and request a retraction, you jumped in for the kill. |
|||
Guess I was right about you: you do target your political opponents and try to run them off Wikipedia. I'm going to put up an unblock request, and I will continue to do so until someone locks down my page. It really doesn't matter if I get unblocked -- I have a life outside Wikipedia. What matters is that I've made my point about your actions. Thank you for proving that point for me! [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

== ANI == |

I formally request that record of this incident be placed at [[WP:ANI]] so that other admins can see what Stevo did. [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

==FfD to delete Time cover image== |
|||
As you were briefly involved in some of the recent discussion and debate about the images in the article on [[Intelligent design]], I thought you might like to know a separate proceeding was brought to remove the Time image by outright deletion from the wiki . It's at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_February_12#Time_evolution_wars.jpg . |
|||
If you are at all interested in the outcome, it would be reasonable to post a "keep" or a "delete" at that page. ... [[User:Kenosis|Kenosis]] ([[User talk:Kenosis|talk]]) 06:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |
