Outside view
Regarding the comment that Ryulong just needs to be remided to avoid the heavy trigger, I think that most of the diff's provided in the introductory discussion are exactly that - reminders to be civil, and thoughtful. When bored I read the various admin notice boards and Ryulong is up there with someone complaining that he jumped the gun, was uncivil, full of personal attacks, high handed, and rude that I recognize the name without any sort of involvement with this user. Now, undoubtedly the bulk of this is whinning by those who needed to be blocked, but enough of it seems to be simple arrogant rudeness that a simple reminder is not enough. --Rocksanddirt 21:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Have to say, Xterra1's block log speaks volumes. He was blocked, as you say, mistakenly. Fair enough, I guess. But you were decidedly grudging about an apology afterwards (and in fairness, he must have been pissed at what happened) and when he was unblocked by someone else, you re-blocked him less than a day later for 'harassment'. Now, it may not have been the case, but the perception this projects is that you indef'd him first, he was unblock and then hours later, you were to re-indef him in what looks a whole lot like a fit of pique. Like you wanted to get him anyway. I'm sure this wasn't the case, but .... this may be how it has been perceived. He was unblocked minutes later by another admin as a "ridiculous block" which, in honesty, it was. I was ready to unblock, too, only someone else got in before me. - Alison ☺ 03:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
