:: Well, that is a bit daft. Zapping me is an act of bad faith. And as I've got no sysop powers, there is nothing I could do to change Proxima Centauri's behavior. The only thing that vandalising my page is going to make me think to do is ask the admins to block someone's IP (or follow them around reverting their vandalism). It is a counter-productive behavior. It is going to make people think that Nx is a trouble maker.

== Quoting or paraphrasing you, in WikiIndex policy proposals ==
Because you are an active sysop here, I plan to quote some of your statements in the policy proposal pages, for example, [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines|here]]. The purpose of this is to give editors an idea of what they can expect from the administration here, and to see if we cannot reach consensus on policy. These quotes would have source links next to them, and I will sign them to show that I am doing the quoting. I intend to '''not quote anything mentioning a specific conflict'''. But if your statements regarding a specific conflict seem relevant to the subject, I may ''paraphrase'' it (to the best of my ability) in a generalized format, to avoid offending those involved in the conflict (and thus re-opening the debate on the policy page). I will additionally link to the source, of the paraphrase, as this is very necessarily to establish or dismiss the legitimacy of a paraphrase. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:28, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
I'm suggesting we test out a [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Notes_to_editors_of_this_page|policy of neutrality]] with regard to edits done on policy pages. Therefore, I propose we relocate or paraphrase any comments made there, in keeping with this policy. (So others will not be allowed to insert things you may find offensive.) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:28, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
This may only lead to more conflict, but it is only meant as an experiment and, if it doesn't work, we may instead, have to forbid "commenting" on the policy page entirely. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:28, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
Now that I have explained my intentions, please let me know if you object to being quoted directly or paraphrased, in that manner, for that purpose. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:28, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
