Yes, I know that I am responsible too, but it's not been a one-sided argument. I really have been trying to do the content edits (and I believe them all to have been good and worthwhile), but so much attention has been given to small details while huge almost year long outdated articles persist. It feels personal. And no matter where I say sometihing about my concerns and feelings, the 2 admns jump on top of me and tag team.

I simply don't understand why any admin wouldn't ask first before assuming that because they are an admin that only their opinion counts. It's not a good way to start to get some collaboration going. Just removing someone's work and letting them know that they did it afterwards isn't right and perhaps causes more bad feelings that will persist in other areas and the original mod was not wrong but really a small thing that could simply been left as it was. I had my reasons for doing it too, but I wasn't even asked for them. Now, there is an incomplete linkage. It seemed to be done just to show who is the boss. I worked for many many years, but never had a real boss treat me as these admins have. I'm not normally passive-aggressive at all. I prefer the direct approach, but here I'm scared to be direct. Who is allowed to scold the admins without fear of retaliation by means of blocking. I don't want to scold anyone, but neither do I want to be scolded and dismissed by anyone.

They are now admins, which I thought is what they said they wanted, but now they want to be the only vote and if you don't comply and say thank you for being squashed, then you're threatened with blocking. I know that I have residual feelings about the situation here before, but I see more of the same. I wish that I could entirely separate myself from the past, but I see it continuing going forward, albeit now almost exclusively about the content. Sorry, just venting as usual. I will try harder, but if you could help the 'other side' see that picking at small things is not a good way to get along with other editors. What happens if we were to have real vandalism for the purposes of malice? That's when I feel that blocking might be a deterrent, but now if you make an edit and think better of it, you are scolded without even asking what happened. It happened to someone here recently (not me). The scolding even had an implied threat of more severe repercussions. the new editor simply said that they wouldn't even try again.

Also, I've been told that I would be taken to Sannse's wall. It's like the principal's office threat. Rather than actually threatening blocking, and to seemingly keep her electroic fingerprints at a minimim and not using the word blocking. But the implied threat is still there, isn't it?

I would love if pairs would pick an area of content mess and work together to fix it. If the 2 disagree, then bring the issue to a larger community discussion. There may be a better way to do the mod. And better experience brought in to help when the solution is eluding. And let, please move the content into the next gen and stop trying so hard to preseve the past at all costs. There are ways to do the first while keeping the historical integrity intact.

Well, I'll go now. Thank you :--)) - El
