I understand that the indefinite ban was reverted by Danny and reinstituted by dannyisme for 48 hours. I don't believe Eloquence should receive a death sentence either. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Barrett [mailto:sean@epoptic.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 5:03 PM To: wikipedia-l(a)Wikimedia.org; Patrick, Brad; jwales(a)wikia.com Subject: Re: [Wikipedia-l] [Foundation-l] Indefinite block and desysopping by User:Danny Thank you for your explanation. As an Arbiter, I have some slight idea of how ... interesting ... situations can become, and I full support of the OFFICE policy as a tool to use in handling those situations. Can you explain the reasons why Eloquence must be prohibited from ever editing the English Wikipedia again? Danny is apparently using OFFICE to justify what looks like a lifetime ban (something even the Arbitration Committee cannot impose) that he refused to explain. I can understand that the Foundation's obligations are greater than loyalty to any one user. Is it the case that the Foundation cannot explain why this one user is being permanently banned with no explanation of why he must be sacrificed? - -- Sean Barrett | I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. sean(a)epoptic.org | But this wasn't it. --Groucho Marx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFERqV2MAt1wyd9d+URApaEAJ9Z8kCoKNjftKcpIeop7qk2QAuPggCfVzgT PtydwMTp8nFCx376DKOkdtM= =9ROC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer under IRS Circular 230: Unless expressly stated otherwise in this transmission, nothing contained in this message is intended or written to be used, nor may it be relied upon or used, (1) by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and/or (2) by any person to support the promotion or marketing of or to recommend any Federal tax transaction(s) or matter(s) addressed in this message.
