User talk:JBW: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:53, 7 April 2024

Hey, JB, check out this user talk page when you get a chance. So polite!   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skywatcher68: Yes. By the time I got there, the IP address was already blocked, otherwise I would have done it. I thought of posting a message about civility, but decided that would be just feeding the troll, so I have left it, but watchlisted the talk page, with a view to stepping in if it all starts up again. JBW (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone trying to get a rise out of me has their work cut out for them. I'm in customer service.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This bitch caught my son vandalizing wikipedia and I gave him the flamethrower as punishment, I burned my mansion down accidentally. If my son wasn’t caught this wouldn’t happen. Did I do the right thing 96.3.8.17 (talk) 19:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a look at this one, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jadirior/sandbox , that seems a personal vanity page from over a year ago, the user having not contributed at all. Found again through a spam image on Commons. Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 13:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Acabashi: I've deleted the page, and supported your deletion nomination on Commons. I also found that the editor had created another copy of the same page, which has already been deleted. I think it's close to certain that the person will never come back, but I'll watchlist the pages just in case. JBW (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. Acabashi (talk) 10:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wanna unblock? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I figured that one was going to work out. You win some, you lose some, but that's a disappointment. JBW, Keychron makes some great mechanical keyboards if that's your sort of thing. --Yamla (talk) 22:38, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel so used. In processing this, a couple of pop culture ref's popped into my head. This is the best. "I am a little disappointed-- and if there is one thing I do not like, it is to be-- disappointed. --Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg. Not a mathematician, so I hope I get this right. P(u) = 1/∞, where u = future unblock of Crazybob2014. Best -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:49, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra and Yamla: One of the things that strike me most forcefully about this is the sheer stupidity. If they hadn't jumped right into restoring their block-evading edits the moment they were unblocked, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I think that confirms what I already strongly suspected, which is that before long we would have had a CIR block, if there hadn't been any other reason for a block. JBW (talk) 18:22, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
