I wish you'd come back. You were a great editor. --William S. Saturn (talk) 01:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Unblock request
What I did was restore the consensus wording of one of our oldest policies, WP:EP, to the language it had for much longer than the six years I've been editing here. I admit, the idea of having to be drawn into yet another policy edit war didn't make me at all happy, and I realized in a moment of clarity that the project is seriously broken as there is no effective means of maintaining the project's ideals. WP:5P is apparently sacrosanct, but that's mere ritual when the underlying policies which effect it have no true relationship to it. Trying to keep them that way wasn't always such a lonesome and thankless task; but in every example of policy disputes for about two years now, there's simply months of bickering followed by, at best, the ArbCom taking six months to ponder the situation deeply and collectively shrug. I should not have directed my frustration at one random edit warrior, obviously, and like I said above, I would like to formally apologize for to him for that (I guess, that is, should he ever see this). However, my good name is now being dragged through the mud in an Arbitration case I'm not even a party to that I'm aware of, and I would have liked an opportunity to defend myself; but, OK sirs, whatever. I occasionally hold some slim hope that in the coming years or decades some clever Wikipedian will be able to stop the shifting sands of fickle policy, that are slowly but inevitably sinking the Five Pillars into the wasteland. But this silliness here... that I've been WP:BANned from the project for quitting, makes me have my doubts. I don't really know if there is anyone left who cares. -- Kendrick7talk 09:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why isn't Kendrick being unblocked? The blocking admin stated that he would be "unblock[ed] with conditions" if he returned. --William S. Saturn (talk) 23:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
