  1. [[User:Bkonrad|older≠wiser]] 21:18, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC) Unacceptably uncivil behavior. The comments other users made were in no way provocative and Rex's edits to make them appear to say something else are appalling. I would have no problem with him simply removing the comments of persons he did not want to engage with, but this sort of vandalism is bad news.
  2. JamesMLane 21:55, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC) In the course of this dispute, I prepared a summary (with edit links) of the first phases of Rex's misconduct. By this edit he posted my summary to his talk page, without attribution but with the new heading "Fair warning to talk page spamers". Rex evidently considered his "warning" to have been a success: [17]. He is quite unrepentant and will continue to act this way. I note in passing that this RfC covers only the tip of the iceberg of this user's disruptive conduct.

Response

This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete.

My apologies to the editors who were offended by the "nose-tweaks" which I posted on my personal talk page. That it was taken as being unfair by some is surprising to me, in that it was my understanding that my talk page was my concern, not that of others. This episode has cleared that up for me and I have adopted a new talk page policy as a result. [[User

I have reviewed the comments of Neutrality above and I do see that my edit to the "tally" of the VfD page was in error. The only explanation I can offer for that is that the "16" must have been a typo, when I cut and pasted in my answer. In my view, this was a harmless error and could have been easily corrected by anyone who bothered to read the page. That said, I apologize for sloppy editing.

The other complaints about me modifying comments on my own talk page has already been resolved and in any case would not have even occured if Neutrality had not started trouble today by spamming my talk page. [[User:Rex071404|Rex071404 ]] 23:46, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
