→Thanks to everyone for the cooling off - here is my idea on how to move through this.

:Phantom Hoover, I think that now you are being unfair. Let's look at the whole business this way: what objective lasting damage has Proxima Centauri done to the wiki project? If it's just blocking of the user accounts and several articles, then the other admins should just unblock it if they deem it suitable, and let's move on over this thing. If PC is only accused of making some folks' adrenaline rush to their heads... personally, I'd rule "Not guilty". :) Is there something I haven't noticed? | :Phantom Hoover, I think that now you are being unfair.

:Also, in my personal experience, nobody is given admin rights without previously demonstrating understanding of and dedication to the cause of the project. Therefore I have always found accusations of "power abuse by the admins", especially coming from newly registered users, suspect. I don't say they can't be right. I just say that an admin ''can do more than a regular user''. Isn't the point of being an admin to steer the project towards its purported goal? --[[User:Koveras|Koveras]] 06:06, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | :Also, in my personal experience, nobody is given admin rights without previously demonstrating understanding of and dedication to the cause of the project.

(I'm moving Proxima's post here where I think it is more on topic. Please don't shoot! If you disaggree, move it back and I will leave it in the middle of the policy page. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:30, 29 August 2009 (EDT)) | |||
People connected with RationalWiki have been revealing information about me for no reason except to punish me. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 14:32, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
:Yes I noticed that. I'm wondering if it is working or if you are not enjoying the attention or something. Seems a bit odd, that you would bring ''that'' up in the middle of the policy page, of all places. It is sorta relevant, in that this is what motivated much of this, but you could speak in general terms, and discuss policy on that page if you don't want to bring more attention to that info. It's really kinda cute, but I hate to think you are suffering over this. Of course I have no way of knowing that. I'm a little paranoid myself. Sometimes I think you are all playing some joke on me.

:I imagine those people feel frustrated and powerless and that is why they are "resorting" to being "mean" to you. I don't know how this whole thing started (I probably don't care). I just wonder if we can't move forward somehow. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:30, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
:The problem as I see it, is this place is running in..what do they call it?... headless chicken mode! There is no policy but people talk about "trolling" in reference to say, deleting something, and they accuse you of illegitimate blocks when the closest thing to policy there is says "no deleting". So I suggest we work together and write some [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines|policy]]. There is no point in me doing that myself, of course it means nothing if the admins aren't going to follow it and it is not democratically legitimate if it doesn't have community support.

:If you only want to try to resolve the specific conflicts you are having recently, I would suggest doing that here. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:30, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
