What was the point in breaking all the links and even my signature? Just to be extra obnoxious? Well, here they are again:

I reverted some edits by a user who in the most charitable possible interpretation was severely incompetent. Sample contribution: On 19 August 2021, the Administrator mentioned to rest of Employees only € 16 000 in Cash and the Ferry Construction, in half process done, cancelled from the Nord Frisia Reeder. The user was blocked because of "insufficient competence in English". User:Taking Out The Trash, an account registered not even two weeks ago, took issue with incompetent edits being described as incompetent, falsely claiming that this is a personal attack. This brand new account is a single-purpose account devoted solely to reverting edits and templating people, often using disruptive edit summaries, and is suspected of sockpuppetry. The user makes the ludicrous claim that they are barely familiar with Wikipedia, though they admit that they have "only one" other account. And at the behest of this dishonest sockpuppet who is not here to make substantive contributions to the encyclopaedia, I am blocked. That is ridiculous. No edit I have made to any article has done anything except improve it significantly. Eyout (talk) 10:29, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I mean seriously. A user account just 11 days old says "I stumbled upon this user account while doing routine anti-vandalism work in the form of patrolling the edit filter log", and you jump to their command? It is very apparent that for most people on Wikipedia, the encyclopaedia is just a vestigial artefact. Seeking to police people is the fun thing that you all enjoy, isn't it?

 * If by "jump to their command" you mean investigate your account and find you're Symbol confirmed.svg Technically indistinguishable to, then you've got me bang to rights guv'nor ~TNT (she/they • talk) 10:36, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * So yes, you obeyed the command of an obvious sockpuppet, apparently without even wondering for a moment why an account less than two weeks old would be commanding you, and as a result, you've blocked someone who has made only obviously necessary, obviously high quality edits. I am sure you are very proud of yourself. Eyout (talk) 11:06, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, are you saying isn't your account? ~TNT (she/they • talk) 11:13, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Nicely sidestepping the point! Did you wonder for a moment why an account less than two weeks old would be commanding you? Clearly not. If you are concerned about sockpuppetry, it is strange indeed to jump at the command of an obvious sockpuppet, to block someone who has very clearly made beneficial edits. Eyout (talk) 11:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah if you'd just answered the question, we'd be chatting about that account (who, yes, is a bit suspicious) right now ~TNT (she/they • talk) 11:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You did not ask me any sincere question; you were just muddying the waters by being evasive. If there is some answer you would like from me, ask away. Eyout (talk) 12:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Responding to ping: just for the record, this account is not a sock, but rather is a WP:CLEANSTART of an account that has/had substantial experience. That's how a "new" account has this experience. And I didn't "command" anyone to do anything - I asked someone who had more experience than me to look into the situation. That's very different - and if the answer had been "I don't think there's enough evidence to warrant investigation" I would have accepted that without issue.Taking Out The Trash (talk) 16:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
