Hi. I read your comment on my RfA and I felt like I needed to give my own perspective on this issue. The events that led to EK3 were a long string of what I felt were abuses of admin powers by other admins; typical issues were new users being blocked indefinitely as sockpuppets because they used the same kind of wording as a banned editor, had similar political views, had vaguely similar user names, made one unfortunate comment that they never got a chance to take back, edited a few of the same pages as an established editor and was accused of stalking, etc. In addition, the blocks against these users were often accompanied by bluntly cruel remarks and were generally done without any deliberation with others beforehand (afterwards, a notice of what was done would typically be posted on one of the AN pages, I would object to the action taken, and the debate would go from there). The climate today is quite a bit better (although still much in need of improvement) and this level of admin abuse is not seen very often, so I think some people tend to misunderstand what was going on at the time I got those sanctions and think I was being recklessly aggressive by challenging various admin actions. My own behavior was, however, far from perfect with regard to these exchanges, and that is something I have long since conceded; that is why I object to you saying that I pin all the blame on others and take no responsibility. You might be interested to know that when it became apparent that much dissatisfaction among other admins was brewing, I voluntarily stayed away from the AN pages for several months ''before'' the ArbCom case—the ArbCom simply did not care about that gesture, or regarded it as insincere.

:That would be very difficult to dig up. But if nothing else, I'm telling you right now that I accept a fair share of the responsibility for the controversies that flared up back them. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 07:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC) |

Regarding templates
The user in question was violating WP:CIVIL almost certainly, and I can't speak for NPA, I was advising the user not to use custom warnings that could be inflamatory. If this still seems inappropriate, I'm sorry. i kan reed 08:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
