I consider [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat&diff=prev&oldid=3429764 this] a personal attack, as it doesn't contribute to the point of that (sub)discussion, and misrepresents Herby's words. I suggest you to revert this edit or at least to remove the diff and the quotation. Thanks, [[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 11:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

: I disagree that it is a personal attack or that I have misrepresented him as you claim, but in the interest of calming the spirits, I have reverted myself. The kind of commentary that Herby made there is called "[[w:poisoning the well]]" on enwiki. An editor who did that for long time around there (vaguely referring to groups of people who disagreed with him as psychopaths, autistics etc.) was recently banned by our ArbCom, by the way. I hope the administrators here have the guts to rein in their colleagues when they engage in that type of behavior, without the need of users to point out how inappropriate that kind of conduct is for an administrator. Thank you. [[User:ASCIIn2Bme|ASCIIn2Bme]] 11:40, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

:: Thank you, this is appreciated. As I know Herby a bit better, I'd like to reassure you that he was just very disappointed with the general situation and what he called the "[general] idiocy", IMHO. He even remembered elsewhere that it needs two persons to make an argument, so this is not directed to a single "side" (if such things exist). The "idiocy" might include my blocks, for instance.
