In any case, she is now a sysop at the [[Simple English Wikipedia]] and hasn't UNblocked that range. So she's responsible, or rather, irresponsible, for it becoming sadly one of the [[enemy projects]] where Consumerium contributors should be warned against wasting their time. If anyone was blocked from editing legitimate material, if anything, the responsible party has a responsibility to work with it, find other champions for it, etc., to prove they were neutral on the material itself, and that it was not the material that led to the censorship. | In any case, she is now a sysop at the [[Simple English Wikipedia]] and hasn't UNblocked that range.

By contrast we never delete any talk. Our opinion, and word, is worth more than yours, as it stands up to scrutiny. That's all there is to it. Our track record is quite consistent. And so is hers: she blocked by whining using others to do the actual block (or rather, waited until a broader block by Tim Starling - a developer with even MORE technological power), and then taking the power, and then deleting the material before anyone else could seriously review it. That is if anything more of a power grab than a temporary block. | By contrast we never delete any talk. Our opinion, and word, is worth more than yours, as it stands up to scrutiny.
