User talk:Chadbryant
this post is harrassment and a personal attack. Don't do it again or it will result in an immediate block. We're here to write an encyclopedia. Tyrenius 00:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This user's entire presence here has been nothing but harassment & personal attacks. He has not made one valid edit in his time here. I urge that his history here be reviewed. - Chadbryant 01:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I urge that Chadbryant's history be reviewed before anyone else's, in particular the entry for rec.sport.pro-wrestling. --Dooby Scoo 17:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Rec.sport.pro-wrestling
There are a number of users in dispute over this article and in general. The users in particular include (in alphabetical order) Chadbryant, Dooby Scoo, Linden Arden,  TruthCrusader. This does not imply particular blame on any of these. There are aspects of this this dispute that are unacceptable.

If there are suspected sockpuppets, then study SOCK and take the appropriate steps. Do not make accusations directly to or about the individual on your, their or an article talk page. Collect hard evidence. You may wish to report on Suspected sock puppets.

Personal attacks must cease immediately. A personal attack is saying something negative about another person. See NPA if you want further clarification. If you find yourself writing the word "you", be very careful what you follow it up with. Deal with facts and issues, not personal motivations.

Continued arguing of personal opinions on the talk page without verification will be regarded as disruption. Non-negotiable policies are VERIFY, NPOV and WP:NOR. Read them and stick to them.

If you experience a problem or think another editor is violating policy, report it to me with the diff. To record a diff, find the edit in the edit history and copy the URL at the top of the page with a square bracket either end, as in this example:  which results in this.

Violation is likely to result in an immediate block.

Block
You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy, by harassment for 24 hours. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your talk page by adding the text. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead, or mail unblock-en-l@mail.wikimedia.org. It is clear that Chadbryant has had a lot of problems with being harassed. I left a warning as above to leave him alone. You have chosen to leave this post which is clearly an attempt to upset him. I suggest you use the next 24 hours to think how you can help fellow editors and not hinder them. Tyrenius 18:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Conduit for peace
Certainly. Is there anything new I need to know? Tyrenius 01:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The best thing you can do to show your sincerity is simply to back off. Avoid posting messages, even of friendship, on Chad's page. Do not try to engage him in any way, unless it is in an editing situation, and then just make sure you stick strictly to the relevant editing points without any personal remarks, taking care you do not inadvertently post innocent remarks that will be misinterpreted. At this stage Chad is unable to see any gesture on your part as anything other than a trick, because of your past history. Therefore, unfortunately, even a positive gesture will not be accepted, but seen as provocative and harassment (and, now that you know this, I will judge things in that light). If you want to build a bridge, you have to prove you can give him space by leaving him alone for as long as it takes &mdash; weeks or months if necessary. There is a lot of history to let go of, by the sound of it. Tyrenius 03:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Chadbryant again

 * I apologize if my comment was worded poorly. All I meant to imply was that no one could possibly confuse the level-headed Chadbryant of Wikipedia with the quarrelsome and obnoxious "Chad Bryant" of rec.sport.pro-wrestling. This "Chad Bryant" is obviously and unequivocally unrelated to Chadbryant, most likely created by a nemesis of Chadbryant with the purpose of reflecting badly upon him in the eyes of Wikipedians. Cheers. Linden Arden 16:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I took it that that was your intent, and I am pleased that you think so highly of the real Chadbryant. I trust this will lead to much greater respect for judgements he makes over future edits. I take it then that you will support his decision to include an external links to rec.sport.pro-wrestling for example? This does require an answer please. Tyrenius 17:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I may be wrong here, but I believe that I have never taken a stance regarding external links on rec.sport.pro-wrestling. At this point, I am not informed enough on the issue to place my support behind Chadbryant or anyone else. However, knowing that this issue is important to Chadbryant, and also knowing that he is a well-respected editor here, I will most certainly investigate the situation posthaste. Good afternoon. Linden Arden 17:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I think you would be better and more safely employed in whatever endeavour you are currently engaged in, as your helpful course of action could lead inadvertently to friction. However, I am sure Chad will look forward to counting on your esteem for him at some future point, and I will certainly be pleased to be a witness to that. Tyrenius 17:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Image Use Without Permission
You are hereby ordered to remove this image. You do not have permission from the creator of said image (yours truly) to use it in any way, shape, or form. - Chadbryant 01:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I suggest Mr. Bryant post some proof of his "ownership" of the image before he starts making such accusations. Given his behavior on Wikipedia and on RSPW, I doubt the sincerity and authenticity of his claims. Mr. Arden, if you desire assistance in keeping what is obviously YOUR photo, please do not hesitate to ask me. I will be glad to do what I can. Yours truly, Lionel Hutz, er, Krusty Surfer Dude. --Krusty Surfer Dude 02:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The photo in question is used in this article, published over three years ago. I must admit that I find it laughable that you would claim that a picture of me taken when I was five months old is that of your newsborn son, but the demand that you remove it remains. - Chadbryant 02:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * First of all, that doesn't prove shit. You claim to be the "creator" of the photo -- did you take the camera and put the timer on at five months old? Someone else was the creator of that image. Which leads me to my next point. Just because it's on your website doesn't mean it's your images. Images are stolen all the time. Images are altered all the time (and I really hope that's an altered image, because if it isn't...). You could just as easily have found that picture on a Google search as you could have created it. In essence, your arguement is "It's my picture because I SAY it's my picture," which is not only weak and flimsy but pretty damn stupid as well. If I take your computer because I SAY it's my computer, does that make it my computer? If I steal your car and tell the officer "but it's MY car!" does that mean I get off scott free? You have no way of proving that is your image. Really, when it comes down to Linden Arden vs. your arguement, I'm inclined to believe my good friend LA here. As for it being a newborn, it certainly looks that way to me. --Krusty Surfer Dude 03:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Note: Krusty Surfer Dude is now indef blocked as an abusive sock. Tyrenius 17:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I Have No Idea Why I Am Blocked
Who did I harrass? Seems that I am the one being harrassed. Linden Arden 03:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy by renewed harassment of Chadbryant having been warned very clearly previously not to do so. You chose to upload to wikipedia and link from your user page to a photo of him as a baby, claiming it was your son. It is a photo from Chadbryant's web site. You've gone too far this time. You are blocked for a month. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your talk page by adding the text. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead.

User:Linden Arden has been ordered to not antagonize me in any manner whatsoever, but is now utilizing a picture taken of me at the age of five months on his userpage, claiming that it is a picture of his "newborn son". The image in question appears in this article from my personal website (written over three years ago), and I have taken pictures of the original photograph in my possession (front & back). This behaviour from this user has progressed far beyond simple aggression into blatant harassment. - Chadbryant 03:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I have been following this situation for months. Chadbryant has been persistently harassed by sockpuppets, who display the same clever ridicule of specious logic. There is a history between ChadBryant and Linden Arden, whom I have warned clearly not to do anything to wind Chad up, which, bearing in mind the history of abuse, is not difficult to do any more. See sockpuppet Krusty Surfer Dude, operating in tandem tonight.
 * Background

Tyrenius 04:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Chadbryant has launched an orchestrated and nefarious plot to get me blocked from Wikipedia. He has fabricated erstwhile web pages and cooked up so-called incriminating pictures to frame me for a violation of which I plead categorical innocence. Ask yourself one question: Why was Chadbryant on my user page in the first place? I can only assume that he was fishing for information that would serve as the launching point for his latest underhanded scheme. It's a sad day for Wikipedia when its administrators are hoodwinked by the puerile kookery of Chadbryant. Linden Arden 23:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy by continuing harassment as above after being blocked, and accusing Chadbryant falsely of misusing pictures. He has supplied proof that he is the owner of the "baby photo" which you put on your user page. You have supplied none. The block is now for 6 weeks from today. You need to sort yourself out or there is no place for you on wikipedia.. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your |talk page by adding the text. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead. Tyrenius 19:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Evan1108.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Evan1108.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. - Chadbryant 01:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Linden Arden Maintains His Innocence in the Baby Photo Imbroglio
Furtive machinations and real life threats to my family and livelihood by an anonymous deviant prevent me from exonerating myself in the Baby Photo Imbroglio. In consultation with my family and spiritual advisor, I have made the difficult decision to permanently disengage myself from all contact with the "usual suspect" of Wikipedia content dispute. May God be with you all. Linden Arden 21:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
