User talk:Realskeptic/archive 1

After already deleting a comment from repeat harasser BullRangifer on my talk page for user space harassment, I see he has now returned to leave yet another disruptive comment calling for my permanent ban and deletion of my talk page. Ironically the call is motivated by my removal of comments from my user space in keeping with WP:TPG and WP:UP that included his own.

Though he claims I do not understand the policies I cite, he falsely accuses me of WP:TPG as well as WP:EDITWAR (edits to ones own user page are exempt from what is considered edit-warring). He also has escalated ad hominem attacks and name-calling despite repeated requests for him to stop.

His disruption of my talk page also constitutes a WP:POINTy edit and violation of WP:NOBAN as he has admitted that he was baiting me to remove it. He has also admitted that his emotions and those of like-minded editors are the reason for their continuously failing to discuss my edits.

His hostility towards my edits and comments is far out of proportion to anything I have written. For example, when I reiterated my as-yet unmet request for my unblock request to be reviewed without prejudice, BullRangifer replied:

"That is such a clear example of a battlefield attitude as to justify an immediate indefinite ban from Wikipedia. There is no point in further discussion. The only alternative would be extensive topic bans."

Although I deleted that comment, I replied

"All I'm asking is for my unblock request to be fully reviewed without condescension or prejudice and in accordance with WP:AGF. To call for retaliation against such a reasonable request with a topic ban is a battlefield attitude."

Yet in his latest attack, he claims:

"They have not provided a shred of evidence that they are willing to learn how things work here. We see nothing but rebellion."

Which one of us is unwilling to learn here?

While BullRangifer insists I demonstrated "no collaborative spirit," he has demonstrated contempt for doing so. To provide one example - I requested editors reverting my edits discuss on the talk page. BullRangifer rejected my plea, saying not here, time for a block. What he also does not disclose is that that was the first request that led to my current block, which is perhaps part of why he is so angry and wants my talk page deleted along with my edits not being in line with his POV pushing.

Though BullRangifer contends that no one will protest my banning, another editor continues to defend my most recent edits that I left before I was blocked. BullRangifer also implicitly insults any admin unwilling to call for his retaliatory ban by saying they don't "have the balls" to do so. Additionally, he makes WP:PERSONAL attacks on me such as "the ultimate pseudoskeptic POV edit warrior" and calls me "cowardly." This is the behavior of a bully.

To follow through on BullRangifer's demands is to empower a bully, as I feel was the case with my current block. Not only will banning me violate Wikipedia policies, but the abhorrent behavior of BullRangifer will reflect on any admin that does. I would also contest the ban and will be able to prove that I was in keeping with Wikipedia policies in spite of BullRangifer's repeat attacks. I have been subject to repeated WP:WIKIHOUNDING by him both here and elsewhere. It has to stop.

Though I don't see how such a person could be reasonably allowed to edit Wikipedia, I recognize that a decision to ban BullRangifer should be left to the admins. What I am asking is for BullRangifer to be banned from commenting on my talk page indefinitely.

 * I would like to just re-emphasize my request for a talk page ban of BullRangifer, who has now moved to attack me on his own talk page. Among the attacks include likening me to an animal that needs to be euthanized, calling me "Realseptic" and saying that I should be thankful to "all the people that f---ed me" (dashes mine). I should also note that he resorts to projection by now accusing me of bullying.


 * BullRangifer also expresses overall contempt for admins ("we have so few courageous admins", "We even have admins who practice victim blaming, bullying, and piling on, so they may even side with Realseptic's bullying attacks on me."), suggesting I am far from the first user he has had issues with - factional support from like-minded editors notwithstanding. He also repeats his "cowardly" accusation towards me for exercising the right to remove comments from my talk page per WP:UP and WP:REMOVED and for calling for him to be banned from my talk page, which is extremely ironic for someone who is calling for my banning from Wikipedia and the deletion of my talk page.


 * By his own admission, he wants me banned and my talk page deleted without discussion:


 * "It's not pleasant, but it must be done. That's what needs to be done here. Just get it over with, without asking."


 * I hope this makes it all the more clear why this user's call for a ban should not be taken seriously and why he should never be allowed to post on my talk page. As stated previously, I would contest the block as I will be able to prove I am not guilty of the things BullRangifer accuses me of. Additionally, BullRangifer's "conduct" would not reflect well on any admin who follows through with his request.


 * Again, I don't see how such an abusive and bullying POV pusher should be allowed to edit an encyclopedia, though that is for the admins to decide. However, I hope they recognize the need to permanently deny BullRangifer the technical ability to engage in any further abuse towards me on my own talk page.

You can simply request that particular editors not post on your talkpage, you don't have to write a wall of text. That doesn't apply to administrative enforcement actions, and such requests should be made judiciously.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I had done so during your block, since I couldn't post anywhere else. Realskeptic (talk) 16:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
