Sorry to be a killjoy
Is it wise to include foul language on your user page? This is an encyclopedia which is viewed by minors. Just a thought.  Josh Holloway 23:19, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I am sure that the discussion that would follow here if I was willing to continue has happened numerous times before, but unfortunately I do not know where specifically to direct you. However, I am sure you are enough of a wikipedian to find that information for yourself. Buttboy666 23:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't be a smart-ass. It's a rhetorical question.  Josh Holloway 00:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I advise you to re-read my above response, particularly the portion about not continuing this discussion. This will be my last word on the issue. Buttboy666 00:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Edited userpage in accordance to WP:Profanity.  Josh Holloway 00:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Reverted. You'd better find an admin to officially tell me that WP:Profanity applies to the user namespace. Buttboy666 01:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

User pages
Reverting someones user page for failure to follow article syle guidelines such as those in WP:Profanity appears to be an abuse of Wikipedia. My opinion is that a user page is not an article. Josh should consider WP:Civility and, Buttboy666, you should consider warning him for abuse of your user page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrcfjf (talk • contribs)
 * Thank you for your support. I wish I knew why this was happening. Buttboy666 05:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Unblock appeal
See this thread at AN/I for a more complete explanation. Looks like a checkuser block, but I'll leave this up for at least one more admin to look at. Luna Santin 09:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I really don't understand what exactly that means. Because someone else who uses my IP address complained about something, you do a lookup on that address and everyone who uses it gets blocked? Furthermore, I don't see how I could possibly speak to or be held responsible for anon edits by my IP adress made months ago by people who are presumably in one of the other offices in my building. Not to mention at least 35 others share my IP address, some of whom presumably utilize wikipedia for legitimate purposes who I would imagine won't be happy when they learn they've been blocked virtually forever. I can't imagine this is how things are always handled here since I'm sure a large portion of your users are on a shared connection. Are the powers that be aware that an IP address does not always equate to a single person? This entire process has been harsh without explanation and terse responses citing threads about policies that don't even seem to apply to me doesn't help the matter. I've never been treated so poorly by an internet community, which is especially disappointing considering how open wikipedia claims to be. Buttboy666 16:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd also have to be worried about your username as well. Please see WP:U. The name buttboy is probably a little edgy, and it doesn't help with 666 next to it. However, I would advise, that if they decide to unblock you for not being a sockpuppet, that you immediately go for a username change. As a result, please see template:usernameblocked for info on how to do this. Patstuarttalk 20:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Buttboy is an old nickname since I picked up smoking at an early age. I was not aware there was another meaning to the word, unless you are simply positing that the word butt (presumably referring to the part of human anatomy) combined with the word boy (male youngster) is offensive, which, with all due respect, is so childish that it didn't even cross my mind when selecting my username. 666 is easy for me to remember, admittedly due to the connotations associated with it, but ultimately it's just three numbers in a row. I really have no idea, but I doubt people have been truly afraid or offended by it for a few hundred years. However, if the community deems that my chosen username is inappropriate then I would be willing to change it to something more suitable provided that it's something unique that I can identify with.

Result
Words simply cannot express how disappointed I am with this decision. Buttboy666 18:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

'Once again, let me express my deepest, deepest'' sorrow that the Wikipedia community could not find the truth in this situation. ''' Buttboy666 18:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I am continually deeply saddened by the events that have taken place here. Buttboy666 17:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No one looks at this page. If you're looking to be unbanned by adding these comments, you're wasting your time. I don't have any personal reaction to you being banned - you may or may not have been a sockpuppet. Either way, this won't get you unbanned. Josh Holloway  17:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It is quite clear to me that this IP address will not be unblocked any sooner by any action I may take, yet I still feel the need to express my sense of injustice about the situation and this is the only place where I can do it. Evidently you still look at this page and I am sure it also receives at least a few glances from the users who patrol the recent changes list. Just as long as one pair of eyes aside from own see my messages, I am content. As such, I'd like to thank you for validating my vigilance. Buttboy666 19:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. The reason I saw it is because your page is on my watchlist (because I'm the dude who suggested (unjustly?) that you remove the swearing from the User Page. Keep up your cause. Josh Holloway  22:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

'''It's a new year and I have a renewed sense of injustice. It lingers in my mouth like the cheap champagne and store bought crab dip that my not-so-gracious host presented during a celebration on the eve.''' Buttboy666 18:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm still here and I'm wondering how this could've happened. Buttboy666 18:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey man, you were blocked because your username is offensive (the possible sockpuppetry is another issue). Please see WP:U. Buttboy, no matter how indearing, is offensive, and 666 is the number for Satan. I realize you may feel strongly, but, you can easily create a username that is less offensive, or change the username on this one: see the instructions at Template:UsernameBlocked. Please see WP:SPIDER - it's not the end of the world to create another. However, if you continue to use this page as a soapbox, it'll have to be protected so you can't edit it. -Patstuarttalk 18:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You're wrong; the sock/meat puppetry was the main concern - my username was just the last nail in the coffin so to speak.
 * See the above rationale regarding my username which specifically addresses exactly what you just commented about it.
 * My IP is blocked - I cannot create another username nor can I request a change. Even if I could pursue either of those options, I would still not be able to edit any pages, other than my own user page.
 * WP:SPIDER is not relevant here since I am doing nothing extreme.
 * I am not willing to email a sysop since it would identify me personally, so my only option is to keep posting on this page. As I said above, just as long as one pair of eyes aside from own see my messages, I am content. As such, I'd like to thank you for validating my vigilance. Buttboy666 23:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
