Thankfully, Westwall (de.metapedia.org) is no buerocrat on German Metapedia, just a plain Administrator.
Westwall is very hostile and just blocked me from Metapedia again.
Disclaimer: Westwall usually makes good contributions on the Wiki, but how he treats fellow contributers is utterly unacceptable!
Before explaining what happened, first:
My (common) opinion about the phrase _“because I said so”_.
I despise the kind of person that considers “because I said so” a legitimate argument. “Because I said so” is such a highly obnoxious phrase. It helps nobody, it is not even a logical argument, no constructive criticism; it's just blank excision of power.
In fact, I tend to instantly despise people who say “because I said so” (if not meant as a joke). No exaggeration. The phrase “because I said so” instantly tells me a lot about one's personality.
Every school teacher in my life who commonly used the obnoxious phrase “because I said so” had a lot of other despicable personal traits and belonged to the hated school teachers among my class mates, which is no co-incidence.
This is not just my opinion, but many people I know personally share this opinion.
What happened
(Rough translations)
- Westwall advised (de.metapedia.org) me to “stop with this (de.metapedia.org) nonsense” (creating a category on lists of websites excluded from the Wayback Machine).
- I asked (de.metapedia.org) what exactly about that category he considers nonsense, and explained that some readers might be legitimately interested in it.
- His reply (de.metapedia.org): “BECAUSE I SAID SO”.
- I already despised Westwall, but this obviously re-inforced it. Yet I stayed civil all the way to the end.
- His reply also stated: “You have no clue about our structure of categories.”
- My constructive reply (de.metapedia.org): Then I suggest creating a page to explain that structure, so I can constructively learn from it. Also, I would like to know what one more administrator has to say about it.
- His reply (does not even address my reply): **“I don't think I wasn't clear enough. But because you repeatedly neglected administrator's instructions [debunked in next reply], I am blocking you for four weeks to think about your behaviour and your general nastinesses. Have a nice weekend [sarcasm, obviously] and good free days.”
[I got blocked for four weeks.]
My replies (de.metapedia.org) afterwards are too long to translate (I don't quite feel like it right now), but you can use Google Translate for it.
I suspect that Westwall, who personally despises me, just started this discussion so he can find an excuse to get me out.
I hope that the more civil administrators Thore and Hyperboreer can sort it out.
