User talk:71.254.13.254

Sorry, man. Nothing personal, and I wish you the best of luck getting things straightened out, but a banned user isn't supposed to contribute to Wikipedia. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 03:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

well, at least try to do no harm. (i.e. the broken URL that you unfixed.) it's amazing that i continue to fall for that one. that'll teach me to be forthright and open. i guess that here at Wikipedia, underhandedness pays. i wonder if that mindset finds its way into the encyclopedia content.

I'm really sorry, because I feel that you are a good contributor. The policy is that banned users aren't allowed to contribute in any way, even to their own talk pages. So, even if they are improvements (which your edits seem, at least to me, to be) as an admin I have to yank them when I find them. Not my will, but my responsibility to respect the consensus of the community (or their representatives) has the final weight. I do believe there are many distortions to WP's reporting, but I also believe that over time things balance themselves. --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 19:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

well, just like a cop might, you'll need to use your discretion sometimes. whatever you're comfortable with. perhaps beyond comfortable a little bit. have a good life. 71.254.13.254 (talk) 03:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
