Precious again, for stepping forward for what's right

standing strong
Thank you for speaking up with decency and fairness, treating editors as living people: "there was and is a human being who contributed his time and efforts to the project", - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (20 September 2007, 13 October 2008)!

Three years ago, you were the 99th recipient of my PumpkinSky Prize, - what you said can't be repeated too often. When the human being was unblocked in 2012, joy was unlimited and will not be forgotten, "for stepping forward for what's right and for everyone!" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:00, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:37, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for reflecting the Gerechtigkeitsspirale!

Did you know ... that a church's 1510 spiral of justice declares: "Justice suffered in great need. Truth is slain dead. Faith has lost the battle"?

The poem ends with "Praise the right thing (decency, integrity)".

You earned this, man. Bravo. John Carter (talk) 22:14, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

After more reflections with Iridescent, I added decency and integrity to the above. - You were the only arbitrator representing my view in the GGTF case. How can the spiral of baiting and accusing be ended? The easiest way would be arbcom apologizing to Eric and his restrictions lifted, everybody involved being told that they should only interact on article pages. Dreams? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:Nazi gun control theory

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Nazi gun control theory#Godsy's preferred lead. Should article be locked down/protected? If so, which version, and for how long? Thanks. Lightbreather (talk) 22:36, 20 April 2015 (UTC)Template:Z48

• • Thank you very much for thinking of me, but for a number of reasons, I'd prefer to stay away from this particular topic. Thank you for your understanding. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:26, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement question

Hi Newyorkbrad. I'm new to AE and probably don't know all the rules. You wrote that the violation I reported for Eric Corbett was three weeks old; is there a statute of limitations on ArbCom remedies for personal attacks and topic bans? I apologize for the belated request for enforcement (I only just saw the edit in question). gobonobo ^{+ c} 20:53, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

There is no specific "statute of limitations." However, on AE as on other noticeboards, "stale" reports generally will not get acted on unless they are part of an ongoing problem. The purpose of sanctions is to prevent disruption. If an edit was made some time ago and no one raised an issue with it at the time, it is often better to let it alone rather than rekindle an issue that might otherwise have petered out.

To which I might add that a one-week block would mean nothing to me anyway. Eric Corbett 21:02, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Eric, that's helpful now, I don't think. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Then we'll have to disagree, and not for the first time. Eric Corbett 21:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

You've been in a privileged position for far too long NYB, you really don't understand how this project really works. I'm just an oink, I see how it really works. Eric Corbett 21:13, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification Newyorkbrad. I would argue that this is an ongoing problem, with Eric today opining in the same thread that GGTF supporters "have blocked up their ears and closed their eyes to the reality". gobonobo ^{+ c} 21:11, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Anyone who believes that expressing an opinion is a problem, is a problem in themselves. Eric Corbett 21:18, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

This section is closed. I am going to a ballgame tonight, and I'd rather not see a flamewar here in my absence. Regards to all, Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
