Overzealous Blocking
My attempts at discussion became tendentious only because you made it so by preventing me from responding. Well done! 2600:1003:B862:AF69:54CF:1F91:6537:8B0F (talk) 15:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite block request
Sure, I'll prove you right since your comments at ANI are always oh so helpful and the odds on me wanting to make a positive contribution are much lower given the attitudes of those I have had the pleasure of interacting with. How about a premature indefinite block on the range? Revoking talk page access is advised too. Could you help with this please? 2600:1003:B862:AF69:54CF:1F91:6537:8B0F (talk) 16:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Are you incapable of stopping yourself from editing? What purpose is there to you requesting an indefinite IP range block upon yourself? Are you trying to spite the people you will never know who may someday find themselves on these IPs? GabberFlasted (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I am making a point that the current blocks are both futile and unnecessary. Had not blocked me before I could respond to accept the compromise being discussed at ANI, no block would have been required. Given everyone's haste to jump in and attempt to silence me in that discussion, concern for future users of the IP range is somewhat ironic. 2600:1003:B862:AF69:54CF:1F91:6537:8B0F (talk) 17:21, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Look, I didn't want to block you originally. I think it was clear, I considered it a silly edit war and would have closed the thread with no action, had you simply accepted the compromise. The fact that you reverted one more time gave me the impression that you were not interested in discussing the issue, but rather simply were looking to get your way. That's why I blocked you. As far as I'm concerned, I am willing to unblock you right now if you are really willing to accept that compromise. Salvio giuliano 17:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll accept the compromise, but not the additional editors jumping in. I'll continue being disruptive anytime I see that type of behavior. So, you might want to extend the block anyway. 2600:1003:B862:AF69:54CF:1F91:6537:8B0F (talk) 18:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, additional editors giving their tuppence is how the system works, especially if you're talking about AN and ANI, that are two of the most watched pages on Wikipedia. That's how those pages work: an editor reports a problem and other editors give their opinions, since they are not involved in the original dispute. Admins are not even necessary, unless an admin action is required. Sometimes that's helpful, sometimes it's not. I am not pretending ANI is the best method of dispute resolution we could have created (and we are somewhat aware of that fact: check out this redirect, for instance, Slough of Despond...), but that's how it is.
 * In this case, everyone contributed to an escalation of the original problem, including me, because I had the wrong impression that you were still willing to edit war, and including you, because you could simply have said "I hadn't seen the comments you made at ANI before reverting the last time" and the brouhaha would have ended there... So, what I'm offering here is an attempt at de-escalating. But you also need to assume good faith of others and to accept that sometimes you need to accept that the community is entitled to express their opinion, even if you perceive it as "jumping in".

 * No deal. Trolling bad behavior and ridiculous threads at ANI is all I ever do. 2600:1003:B862:AF69:54CF:1F91:6537:8B0F (talk) 18:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * No, the only point you're making by this brow-raising tantrum is that the current blocks are entirely necessary, and if it hadn't been this issue that set you off, it'd have been another one, given your unwillingness to accept how Wikipedia operates. Where my imagination fails, though, is what you believe you're getting out of this, since a week after those rangeblocks extend to a full year or so, the rest of us will have forgotten all about it.

 * I'll just use a completely different IP range too which is the futile part. 174.206.33.163 (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
