I've already gone over this several times. Have you been reading the mailing
list lately? Loosing contributors who want to have provocative and offensive
user names would be a good thing since we already waste enough time with
anonymous trolls.
So, if I did it again, you'd ban me? Even if all of
my
edits were OK?
You wasted a good deal of editing time from other contributors by your little
stunt. If you keep doing that type of stuff, then yes.
You still haven't addressed my concern that this
sets
a dangerous precedent of banning someone while a
discussion of whether or not to ban them was still
going on.
Why or why do I have to address everything you write? I wasn't the person who
banned your user account either. And it has since be un-banned when we found
out it was you.
This wasn't even for vandalism or trolling,
just for having an objectionable username.
Yes it was trolling.
