User blog comment:JasonAlexande08/I'm leaving the wiki.../@comment-1734566-20100915013608

O.o

Geez. It's too bad we don't have our own news station or something: "LIVE, tonight: A user's final words on the Wiki insult an admin, resulting in his being banned for 3 months (or however long it was)." (Shakes head)

But seriously. All of these comments; these arguments; these insults. It seems to all be the result of that one incident between Zobe and Freehugs. How long has it been since then? I know that this is a big issue, but DANG.

Personally, I don't know Freehugs, Zobe, or Jason that well to say anything about any of the three of them. I thought that freedom of speech was allowed here (as long as it's not cursing), but I guess not. -.-

I feel that people should have a right to their own opinion. And personally, after comparing what Jason said to what Zobe said to Freehugs, this was a very clean way of basically saying "I don't like you." For those of you who don't know what he said...it's best if you don't know. I've seen it myself.

The main thing is that there are so many conflicting stories here, we'll probably never know who's right. Jason claims he had this conversation with Freehugs where she was allegedly being a "smart-alack," or whatever. But unless it was recorded and there's proof, it didn't happen. Or, at maximum, Freehugs wasn't acting like he said she was acting. Also, if what Courtneyroxx said is true, then Freehugs has banned people for an honest mistake/accident, which may or may not be a good reason to ban people. But again; where's the proof?

Now, as Tdifan24 said (and very well-put, I might add), the admins work hard and are just doing their job. What may be considered over-exaggerated to some is perfectly justified to others. But on the other side, what TDA15's last comment said should also be taken into consideration: The same basic reply to any comments on this blog that question the length of Jason's ban. Maybe that's just the admins' way of saying that they just don't want to talk about it, but I don't know.

And, of course, what Sam said is completely true: All these people are repeatedly telling others to not get involved. That may be considered rude, but it can also be considered hypocrisy. You can tell others to not get involved, while you yourself are getting involved. "Do as I say, not as I do"? Harry Reid much?

Overall, I feel that this issue has raised a lot of questions and debates that would otherwise be forbidden here on the Wiki, maybe even the IRC (well, maybe not...) Questioning of some admins' power, some of the Wiki's policies, and so on. I just hope that sooner or later, the record is set straight and we can all be on good terms again. If not...this blog is going to be on the Top Five "Hot Spots" list for a long time. >.>
