Statement of complaint
User is being a royal pain, again. See contribs, and in particular his comments towards myself and other sysops, including his legal threat on Sam Spade's RFA, for no really obvious reason. Actually, just click through all his contribs from say Oct 10-11, and it'll be pretty obvious why I'm taking him here. Pakaran. 21:15, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
