User talk:Balloonman/Brendon

Ok, several of us are having a very hard time with user:Brendon111. I can't believe that this is a new user and not somebody socking at the Mohamed Images RfC. From his very first edit, Brendon showed a high level of wiki-edit knowledge. His account was opened on March 20th, the same date that Requests for comment/Muhammad images started. Brendon makes perhaps 50 edits, mostly to his own pages, before he stumbles upon the RfC on March 29th. Virtually every edit from that point forward was to the RfC where he's shown a higher level of knowledge (and annoyance) to many people. Since then virtually every edit over the past month revolves around this RfC:

virtually every edit in this group of 100 relates to the RfC.

virtually every edit in this group of 100 relates to the RfC.

all but about 10 edits deal with the RfC.

Most of his most recent 100 edits are relative to his starting a Wiki-assistance request because User talk:Griswaldo accused him of being a veteran user who created a sock account to disrupt the RfC.

That view is held by others:


 * but I do think that it would be more constructive for Brendon11 to also focus more on the relevant issues than the commentators. I also understand that rhetoric may not be the best way to argue things, even if they do not amount to commenting on commentators―much of the time, it is better to use "boring language" rather than "strong language," but at the same time, use "strong arguments user:New questions? 07:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no comment on Brendon's posts, I tuned him out as a bit of an extremist awhile ago Tarc (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * A perfunctory glance at a sampling of the comments you have left throughout the RfC in all their dizzying array of shades and sizes paints a striking picture without the superfluous need of an image. Namely, fanaticism comes in many shapes and colours. Veritycheck (talk) 23:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * but the observation I made on your own rhetoric has always remained valid - you cannot seem to comment on other people's "sensitivities" without using some form of perjorative language like "fragile sentiments" above. Matt Lewis (talk) 21:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * you have brought nothing new to this discussion, but you have added such a wall of text that you are effectively stimying pertinent discussion. Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

A sample of Brendon's comments during the RfC: “Muslim-sympathizers” “Islamic mumbo-jumbo” “Over-sensitive lunatics” “Islamic hyper-sensitivity” “Its penchant for gratuitous communal violence”
