:::::Please read what I said - you clearly didn't the first time, as you responded to points I simply did not make. I didn't describe it as "a minor abuse", but as "the most minor abuse imaginable" - an abuse so utterly insignificant I don't understand why there are now ''two'' sections on my talk page about it... A minor abuse is still worth discussing, but this is not. Also, I said that ''this'' discussion was pointless, not [[SmashWiki talk:User pages#The comment-removing impasse|this one]]. My comment wasn't disruptive or pointless - it was a reply to everyone claiming that I was abusing my powers, and, given that I hadn't actually commented in this section until then, and this discussion is all about me, I felt I ought to comment on it.

::::::It isn't "the most minor abuse imaginable." To the contrary, protection of a page to a version that you want is abuse of protection powers, which is in no way as minor as rollbacking abuse. That abuse of those powers is not as utterly insignificant as you assume. There's a pretty good reason why there are two sections on your page, and it's very obvious given that this abuse of powers is actually in its own right very significant; it is not up to the admins to decide whether or not they should force-archive and protect it in order to prevent any move reversions. This comment is very much related to that other one, which is why I said that given how important that argument is, this discussion is too. I said it was pointless because it proved almost nothing, given how most of your comment was wrong. Like I said before, it's rather pointless indeed.

:::::::Again, do not accuse PoD of abusing his powers unless actually want him to be banned. [[Special:Contributions/98.117.158.220|98.117.158.220]] 00:59, January 15, 2010 (UTC) | |||

Well, PoD had pretty much helped me against Woody72691, who has done nothing more than troll my page, and I think even deleted the long comment I made towards him on "My Talk" a few weeks ago. I appreciate all that PoD has done to help me out, along with the others that helped, too. I apologize if it was any trouble. If there was a way to block the woody guy from editing my page, and if I learned how, I would be willing to do it, and hopefully it should help with the majority of the problems. Once again, I thank PoD and the rest that have helped me, and I really appreciate the help.
