User blog comment:Guyviroth/Oh, making a "Confidence Call" by the way./@comment-1272757-20121204032239

Wow, I'm impressed. Not 24 hours and you're already gunning for me. Now I skimmed over this, but here's my explanation:
 * 1) The vote-ban didn't even start out as such. One admin had made a statement about why we were taking insulting or demeaning comments from you that amount to harassment, and we decided this needed to be talked about. Eventually and through no active attempt of my own, it turned into a discussion of whether or not to ban you. The only thing I did was make sure that all admins were aware of this discussion and took part if capable. Quite frankly I thought it should have been as simple as "ban you, be done" and that the whole vote wasn't necessary. Oh and by the way, it was pretty much unanimous with all active admins, aside from one vote of neutral from Jon. So no, I was not the sole reason you were banned, I was simply the one to carry it out.
 * 2) I once again refer you to the aforementioned vote, and how people were sick of your attitude towards them. I believe I also explained reasonings for the ban on someone's talk page, and I'll get a link to that one later.
 * 3) That one was simply the fact that no-one else is allowed to edit their talkpage while banned. At least, I pick that option while doing any bannings.
 * 4) Funny thing, that was Memphis who said that. It was said to ensure that you didn't talk your way out of the ban through one of the admins by making them aware that there would be consequences, and to keep Users from inciting drama over the matter. I was merely the messenger boy who told everyone Memph's ruling.

Now, the point about Shou:
 * 1) I explained it to him not once, but twice. It came down to three strikes, simple as that.
 * 2) White not only got a week-long ban, but he was also demoted. Plus, the "every conceivable behavioral policy in the book" was cursing. If he should have gotten a demotion and a permanent ban for swearing, than a lot of other people would get the same. Long story short, when it came to Shou that was a matter of enforcing what I was told by Memphis, which Memphis confirmed for me during Shou's second strike.
 * 3) Shou was unbanned when he said he would stop bringing up the subject. To be quite frank I didn't want to ban such a promising User who by all means seemed to be a decent person, and when he said he would stop trying to bring up the matter I was more than happy to reduce his ban to a single day and then let him be on his way. Given his devotion/admiration for you I was both surprised that he was on SFW to do more than preach your case and impressed that he was willing to let the subject drop.

Say what you will Guy, but the majority of the information you have brought up against me is almost entirely based on my actions to uphold a group decision by the wiki's admins or enforce a ruling by one of the wiki's three crats. Admittedly, apparently that ruling was only done to "shut me up" or as a courtesy. Whether that was truly the case at the time Memphis made the ruling or not, I have no idea. In fact, as far as I knew it was a completely legitimate ruling by a bureaucrat that should be enforced, pure and simple. If I was honestly as corrupt as you make me out to be, you would have been gone the moment I got my adminship, regardless of admin vote or otherwise.

Pardon me for not responding sooner, but I wanted to wait and see if this held any water with the community before putting forth my side of the story and all but ensuring that, whether I want it to or not, this would become messy. To all those that have currently voted, please keep in mind that there are two sides to every story and read through my responses so that you may reconsider your votes. If you do, it's all well and good. If not then... well yeah, it's all well and good.
