Hmm, Metrocat here to stay. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 16:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, welcome to Wikipedia. Please read [[WP:NLT]]. "Brought up on charges" is pushing the line. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&curid=5004212&diff=56536167&oldid=56533710] See ya. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 18:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

:Well, I only half-read it. I don't normally fully pay attention to rants to Jimbo unless they are part of the [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] process. I just saw "brought up on charges" and thought I'd remind you about some rules we have here. See you around, my friend. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 19:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Actually, what I wrote is not a rant. If you didn't read it then please don't take the liberty of calling it that. Calling it a rant was a personal attack in that it showed lack of respect and did not assume good faith. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 01:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

::Yikes, perhaps something got lost in the translation, but I'm not sure you need to use that tone. I called you "friend" because I call just about everybody "friend". I wasn't "sticking you in the back". I don't even know you, how could I be sticking you in the back? I was simply informing you that there are certain rules around here that we all must follow in order to produce an encyclopedia (one of the being "no legal threats"). I said "dispute resolution" because that is the process we all must go through in order to address any problems we may have with an aspect of WP. I wasn't being antagonistic in any way, but was merely trying to help someone who is new to Wikipedia (namely, you). If you have any futher questions, don't hesitate to ask. Cheers. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 19:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

"Lord Voldemort" is the main protagonist in the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling. You can see the article about him [[Lord Voldemort|here]]. Hope this explains things. And it's fine, you can call me "old chap". I imagine quite a few people see the name and think it's some little kid on this side of the keyboard. But really, I wanted to see what all the buzz was about and read the books. I thought Voldemort was quite a good character, thought it an apposite name, so I chose it. Funny how things work out sometime. And funny how people can assume things about a person by which handle they choose, eh? Oh well. See you around. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 14:16, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:Yeah, I recently reread [[Where the Sidewalk Ends (book)|Where the Sidewalk Ends]]. It's amazing the things you forget when you haven't read something in about 15 years. :-) But sadly, I rarely have enough time to read children's books anymore. Guess that's life. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 14:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Is there any way for any of his friends to contact him? He has got to be feeling real down and frustrated right now. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 02:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

::::Yes, you can contact him. I will tell him to look here. Do you have an email adress? --[[User:193.227.206.157|193.227.206.157]] 16:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

== Trustworthy? ==

I do not see what you mean. I am confused. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 03:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:Oh, I am sorry you feel this way. The reason I contacted Sidaway (and SlimVirgin too) that day was purely in the interest of full disclosure. When you have a problem with an editor, the first course of action is to try and clear up the problem with that particular editor. Since you skipped that step, I thought it only fair and reasonable to inform them of your comments (since you named them by name). If Jimbo had said, "you are right, they are banned", they would never had had time to speak their case. If you have a problem in the future, I would encourage you to try and work it out with the person directly first. If that fails, ''then'' proceed to the DR process.

Line 61:

:And I don't necessarily think what you wrote on my page was a personal remark (I'm a little thicker skinned than most), but I would encourage you to refrain from making those remarks to other people. They may not take so kindly (as experienced with Nathan below). Listen, you seem like a bright guy or gal, and would hate to see you blocked (a little criticism is good for the project), but you have to remember to criticise and comment respectfully. Rise above the petty remarks made by so many others. I don't hold any grudge against you at all. I appreciate the criticism. Having someone from the outside (namely, you) look at what we're doing can help point out areas of concern that we might not see because we're too involved. I just happen to think there are better ways of going about it than those you have attempted.

:I welcome any further comments. See you around, my friend. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 14:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

::I went to your page to thank you for your comment and found I was blocked by Tonysidaway. Now do you get what I mean?

{{unblock}}

== Please don't attack. ==

Line 69:

I've read your comments on both my talk and Lord Voldemort's and they could be read as sarcastic and attacking in tone.

I'm going to assume good faith here and assume that you ''really'' don't mean to attack, so could I ask you to please be careful when making such comments? Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks, which you can read about at [[WP:NPA]]. This is a blockable offense, which means if you do this too often, you'll get blocked. Cheers. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<fontspan colorstyle="color:navy;">'''Natha'''</fontspan>]][[User:ILovePlankton/My loyalties to my friends|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#336666;">'''n'''</fontspan>]] ^{([[User talk:nathanrdotcom|talk]])} 03:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

If I remember, lad, you were blocked recently yourself. I was not making personal attacks although you are reapeatedly making attacks on me. I assumed good faith for you when I went to your page and left a comment to begin with. Obviously I made a mistake in doing so. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 22:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Line 79:

Since I am blocked and cannot discuss this anywhere else, Sidaway, will you please comment here and explain this block? And also point out my bad edits and so-called trolling? Thankyou. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 15:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:His name is [[User:Tony Sidaway]] (for future reference). I'll go have a word with him. Thanks. --[[User:Lord Voldemort|<fontspan colorstyle="color:purple;">You Know Who</fontspan>]] ^{<font color="#3D9140">[[User talk:Lord Voldemort|<sup style="color:#3D9140;">(Dark Mark)]]</font>}]] 16:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

::Thanks, Lord Voldemort. I called him Sidaway because you just did above. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Metrocat&redirect=no#Trustworthy.3F

Line 129:

Wikipedia is tolerant and we do assume good faith where it is merited, but we're not stupid. --[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]] 16:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Now there is just no way you can bring anyone up on criminal charges for removing anything on Wikipedia. Don't you think that's a little bit excessive? The use of legal threats is a blockable offense. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<fontspan colorstyle="color:navy;">'''Natha'''</fontspan>]][[User:ILovePlankton/My loyalties to my friends|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#336666;">'''n'''</fontspan>]] ^{([[User talk:nathanrdotcom|talk]])} 18:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:Uh, yeah. Nathan, I would be careful who I trust. If I remember correctly you were blocked yourself recently for having a long signature or some such lame reason that doesn't exist. Or have they gotten hold of you now and altered you somehow? [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 21:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Unblock Anittas and Metrocat. Please use CheckUser to see that is not the same person. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:Metrocat

{{unblock}} if you would. Danke.

= Sasquatch removed my unblock code =

For the record I am putting it back now. <nowiki>{{unblock}}</nowiki>

That's not very Esperanzan of you Sasquatch. Not very friendly at all. As a matter of fact it's called vandalism. Hey everybody, Sasquatch is a vandal. Sasquatch is going to get policied for harassment and vandalism, aren't you Sassqwitch? Kindly keep your paws off my page. Thank you. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 06:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

:Request denied again; if you hadn't already been blocked the above incivility/trolling would have at least garnered you a strong warning. ([[User:ESkog|ESkog]])^{([[User talk:ESkog|Talk]])} 06:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you serious? The incivility was removing the block code. [[User:Metrocat|Metrocat]] 06:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
