Thanks for the vandalism help. Did you revert all the rest of it? Cirt (talk) 07:46, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome. And yes, it has all been reverted. Tiptoety ^talk 07:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

re IP block exempt

Yeah, it seems even though I promoted him to IP-block-exempt, he still will not give up with his walls of text postings. He also appears to be compiling userspace-subpages as attack-pages - see "outrage" in title of one of them. Thoughts on what can be done about that behavior pattern? -- Cirt (talk) 05:24, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't see that there is any need for anything to be "done" about this at all. Kalki's lengthy postings are in the context of discussions. If he were posting them in articles it would be problem, but he isn't so it is entirely proper, even if he gets carried away in terms of length and tenor. As for his userspace pages, I see no cause for concern. Really, what does it matter what he squirrels away on a subpage? The real question, I think, is: how do we harness Kalki's considerable energy and enthusiasm for the purpose to which it was being put before all this drama erupted, that being the improvement of our collections?

There is a problem with him titling the page of his choice as "outrage", and directing his postings and vitriol against other users in such a fashion. -- Cirt (talk) 19:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I doubt anyone else will ever look at subpages in his userspace, and his decision to title this one an "outrage" is just a matter of opinion. Frankly, I think anyone who chanced to read the hyperbolic conversations transposed there would come away with the opinion that Kalki's reaction far outpaces the import of the dispute. BD2412 T 20:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, at least for the most part I agree with your last sentence in this prior comment. Still think it inappropriate to call the page "outrage", the word could be removed from the title with no other impact to the utilitarian nature of the user subpage. -- Cirt (talk) 20:01, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I asked him to remove the word "outrage" from the title, it only resulted in reply with more walls of text, [1]. Sigh. -- Cirt (talk) 08:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I would say take the higher ground and move on. Ignoring it will accomplish more than trying to make a deal out of it. Tiptoety ^talk 17:37, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright. -- Cirt (talk) 00:20, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
