He said to tell you, Ale, that he's already reading through all the posts in this thread, and to "stop acting like i don't exist in any way that allows me to interact with anybody involved in this discussion, it's irritating and a tad offensive". I quite clearly said "he can give a message to a friend who can post it here, or he can create a new account, get someone to direct an admin to another Wiki's chat, and discuss things from there", so I don't quite get what he's saying with that "stop acting like i don't exist" statement. This is exactly the sort of thing I wanted. He says that dupes, swearing, and the like are not on the same level as 20 months of passive-aggressive behaviour. 20 months of "passive-aggressive behaviour" which led to multiple blocks, might I add. So the comparison isn't really valid here. And as I've already said, that sort of behaviour accumulates itself over time, and at some point enough's enough. "ftr i haven't received any PM warnings afair, maybe ale said something once a while back but i can barely remember and there definitely wasn't anything like "bruh dont be a rude or we'll literally permablock you" I don't even recall warning Fort at all, actually. Probably it was ages ago. "the whole concept of "vote to unblock" isnt right to me, i mean yeah it's about me so obivously im in favor, but i have said that blocks/bans should stay out of the realm of direct democracy and don't want to compromise that just because it's me in question... but a review of the situation at the least would be nice"

There's currently another vote going on for block/unblock petitions, which would combine community involvement with admin decision-making. Basically, yes, a review would come out of it.

When the CV about block/unblock petitions goes through, we might think of "converting" this to a petition, in the end. If Rus and others agree, of course.
