User:Giano/The spooky "Curse of Giano"
This appears to be an attack page focused on various admins, with a list of blocks. This seems at best baiting, and at worst a gross attack on the editors involved. I don't think this is acceptable. --Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 11:47, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sigh. OK, I give in - close this MFD on this ridiculous attack page, evidently it's allowed. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:42, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, because quite frankly, who cares? Does it harms anyone? No. It lists the admins that have blocked Giano, that's all. There's not one bit of an attack on there - if Giano was slating every single person that had blocked him on that page, then perhaps it should be deleted, just a simple list of names does nothing to harm anyone.  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 11:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hold on... there are admins there who aren't on this list? Just how many admins have blocked this editor?!? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a (poorly thought out) MFD, not a place to continue your battle with Giano. Please consider this.--Cube lurker (talk) 14:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, not really. I maintain it's an attack page, but overwhelming consensus goes against me. That's fine, I bow to the wider community. I still think it extraordinary that this many admins have blocked the man and there are others who aren't on the list and he's still able to edit here. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:49, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Part of a fascinating, and maybe not hopeless, study of civility within Wikipedia.  Giano should be banned, except that he is of such great value to the project, so shall we pluck his arm hairs instead?  This page is an inoffensive condensation and organisation of facts.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and mark with humorous. Pcap ping  12:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Humourous, or farcical? What is this, poking fun at Nick Bottom by the gods? Cruelty is always amusing I suppose. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 13:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * TSBDY, you are making yourself appear really rather foolish, while it doesn't bother me, others I'm told are finding it embarassing on your behalf. As I've been saying for days, you have a confused idea of attack and civility. Now, I suggest you remove your template and close this page while you still have some dignity and credibility left. Or even worse, what if the spooky curse comes and finds you wooooo wooooo.  Giano   13:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Who are those other people? I rarely listen to people who tell me others are saying something about me. If they have something to say, then they should say it to me directly. Wasn't that what you were getting so upset about on the incivility talk page? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep and strongly caution nominator.--Cube lurker (talk) 14:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Why? What are you cautioning me about? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a battleground.--Cube lurker (talk) 14:12, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not battling - I found this immensely offensive and an attack on the editors who are mentioned in it. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Second motion to admonish nominator for attempting to stir the pot.--WaltCip (talk) 14:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That was not my intent. Sad if you think it was. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Any attack on LHVY is a positive contribution to Wikipedia! --Stephan Schulz (talk) 14:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What is LHVY? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * LessHeard vanU. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 14:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, a personal attack? I thought we had a policy against this sort of thing. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Please accept this set of smileys as a gift from me: {;-), ;-), :), ;), :-), ;), |:)}. In an emergency, apply some. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 14:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a block log, with commentary on what has happened to some in the ensuing years. Harmless and not attacking anyone, though I really don't see the merit of including images there. Tarc (talk) 14:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable curse. Maybe a mainspace candidate in a list of other notable curses such as the Curse of Tutankhamun. And close, please close this MfD; it is simply not timely. We are approaching Valentine's day. Halloween is still far away. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 14:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Without this page I might forget (i) that I've never blocked Giano; and (ii) that since anybody who is anybody has done so I ought to do so as well, in order (a) to be in with the in crowd, and (b) to avoid the delightful but perhaps time-consuming alternative chore (thank you for the reminder, SmokeyJoe) of plucking his arm hairs. It's an elegantly designed page to boot, with a good view and discreet carpeting. -- Hoary (talk) 14:48, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
