User:EatsShootsAndLeaves/Usertalk and templates

The following are some general ideas that all editors should be aware of when it comes to "talkpage bans" and templates:
 * 1) editors have fairly wide leeway on the management of their talkpage.  This can include requesting that someone "stay away"
 * 2) as long as that person has been reasonably-well advised of that request, then future posts there can be considered to be harassment - and blocks may occur accordingly
 * 3) the only time such a limitation should be broken is when advising them of AN, ANI, or other admin noticeboard filings - templates, etc should be placed by someone else, if valid
 * 4) if you have "banned them" from your talkpage, then you should consider it to be a 2-way ban ... you cannot presume to provoke them on their talkpage and not permit a response
 * 5) except where limited above, in ALL cases, templates CAN be used on ANY and ALL editors ... but ONLY if that template is appropriately used - that said, if you template someone, be aware that they're going to respond
 * 6) tit-for-tat templates (try saying that 3 times fast) is fricking ridiculously silly behaviour
 * 7) if you know based on previous behaviour that someone has a short fuse, think twice
