→Time to end this war: One misunderstanding cleared up! Will this help the issue to progress?
(→Time to end this war: Apparently Hoover did NOT recently delete the link to the debate, thus I have been confused all this time. Struck out and added many corrections and updates to my posts.) |

::You "only have one shot at this"? That seems overly dramatic. This is wiki, which means you have several shots at this. Even if a page gets protected "indefinitely", chances are that someone will come along and unlock at some point in the future. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:23, 2 October 2009 (EDT) | ::You "only have one shot at this"?

:::I was talking about being banned, not page protection. I suppose bans are not usually permanent, so I guess this is unlikely. "Locking down" a wiki seems to be as extreme as permanently banning someone, but I guess Dilley doesn't think that way. From our chat Dilley said about the wiki lockdown, "it was something that i was thinking about at the time", so I guess nobody crossed a line we could not see there. Dilley said he appreciated my engagement, so it doesn't seem like I will wake up to a surprise ban tomorrow, based on some meeting of admins, that I wasn't aware of. I'm not loosing sleep here, I'm just saying I like this wiki and I want to stay. It is difficult for me to read a bunch of "accusations", "misinterpretations", etc, and not publicaly respond to most of it [because I am trying not to offend Felix (who says my posts are too long) or Dilley (who says my posts leave too many edits in Recent Changes). It seems like I am being asked to "self-censor", not that that is such a bad idea because the longer I have to think about something the more likely I am to avoid a mistake.

::I'm glad to see that you found the link which you thought had been deleted. That may have been the source of others' confusion and frustration as well. So, if I understand correctly, you are content (not necessarily happy, but content) with the way the article is currently constructed? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:08, 3 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
