Orwell and His Many Friends

Yeah, I saw you walking. Some old man in a fancy suit. Some Friday boy, gone with the wind and ripped out by pregnant dictators, staffed it for you on K Street Last Millenium, this Project to Rinse For All Time.

I've got it for you, K Surprise.

All right, Without, In and On Time! Get In, Get Out, Send it Fast Up Your Lines! The prayerful quarterly's come to see whether your lot is looking at me.

Look down, look down, boy.

I've got sanctions you can't even dream about.

Lesson one: It's all about how it tastes in your mouth.

Lesson two: Do you have allies?

Lesson three: Have you forgotten how to read?

Lesson four: How's your visual rhetoric?

Gang signs on your CCTV, limited web release, may only serve to relieve one headache in two. The other half of the headaches are on you.

Do you understand, brother? We can say it's only a breathing system, some natural cycle of revolution, some sea I saw and sailed, but Stockholm is still a mighty hungry place in that moment, that moment that you must endure before it's over. Settdigger (talk) 04:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Did She Buy it From a Rubber Man

I know it wears her out. But what did she see? Tell me, tell me, man, I have to know. Was it something beautiful?

No Paris is ever enough. You can not get lost for long enough. Gasoline always comes back. Allez! Allez! Down into the street!

Surgery some old wonder. Some dancing dream: your mother in a scream, Botox One Thousand on Pay Per View, Or just laid out on the couch, The couch she always wanted.

Where is the couch you always wanted, brothers? Where is it? Tell me, tell me, sir,

Is your Davenport Alive? Is Your Rubber Man On Fire? Do You Have a Cure?

=And Listen Close Because I'm Only Going to Say This A Thousand Times, and a Thousand Times Again

You are loved. You are loved, even if I have to kill you.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for resumption of edit-warring after returning from block, as you did at Barack Obama. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Your list-serv second appeal link is not especially useful, as all it results in is a message saying you are not approved to message that listserv. As I stated previously, I ask that I unblocked immediately, as this is so patently a political move, having nothing to do with policy. If you choose not to unblock, I ask that you delete my account immediately. Settdigger (talk) 22:44, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your accusations are not a constructive appeal of your block. Accounts cannot be deleted (see WP:UNC). Bbb23 (talk) 22:54, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I ask that this unblock request be reviewed by an admin other than Bbb23 as I believe he has violated your policy regarding blocking, which states that blocks will not be used punitively, but preventatively. I believe this admin disagreed with the content of my edits, and used his authority to prevent edits he did not agree with. And I ask again: if the reviewing admin agrees with this block, that my account be deleted. I'm sure you can make that happen. Thank you-- Settdigger (talk) 23:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

WP:NOTTHEM. You were blocked for good reason - edit warring - and the fact you continue to insist it couldn't possibly be you indicates you should not be unblocked. Also, Wikpedia does not - in fact, can not - delete accounts. There is WP:RTV, but that is reserved for users in good standing. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• Note from blocking admin. Putting aside the merits of my decline, it was incorrect as a matter of policy for me to decline a block I imposed. I'm glad that Settdigger has appealed again so another admin may review his request.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:15, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
  • @Bbb23: If I may ask, why did you review your own block? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• Why do you ask a question I answered?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

• I don't believe you explained why. You said it was a mistake and you're glad the blockee pointed this out, but I don't see where you explained how you managed to make such an error. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Request for Review of Conduct of Admin Bbb23

As a new user who made good faith non-sabotage edits over the last few days, I would like to request that a review of Bbb23's behavior be undertaken on a publically viewable page. My apologies if there is a specific way to make this request, but this will have to do.

I only want to say that the behavior of Bbb23 and Mastcell has served to increase my perception that Wikipedia does not welcome newcomers, and has become an exclusive club rather than a transparent and welcoming community.
