User blog:SamFliplineFan780/Democrats of Fandom, Unite!

Fandom staff, I need your help wrangling an out-of-control user! I am a dedicated member of the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki community, and I don't stand for injustice of any kind. Lately, I've noticed that one of the Bureaucrats, GloweySpecs, has been abusing his power and throwing his weight around. It all started when he reversed an edit on the page for Perfume-shroom. Every time someone changed the pronoun "it" the "she" or "her," Glowey would undo all the user's hard work. I started using the same tactics against him, but he wouldn't give up. His strategy is one that has stood the test of time: he uses he position as Bureaucrat to justify the censorship of other user's opinions. Another notable example: after comments were turned off on the Upcoming Content page for Plants vs. Zombies 2, another user was thoughtful enough to create a separate talk page. So what does GloweySpecs do? He takes over the talk page, and links it to his own message wall! What the actual heck, dude?! I decided to approach him directly about the issue, and asked him up-front why freedom of opinion made him so nervous? Naturally, he chose to play dumb. Next, I appealed to the PvZ Wiki community and asked them to vote on whether or not GloweySpecs should be blocked. Meanwhile, me and GloweySpecs had been going back and forth editing the Perfume-shroom page. The first person to vote in favor of blocking GS was a user whose unorthodox posts had caught the staff's attention in all the wrong ways. He had created at least three accounts in the hope of avoiding GloweySpecs' "weaponized logic" agenda. Glowey responded by straight-up accusing this innocent user of harrasing other users, and THAT was the last straw.

I warned GS that if he didn't back off, my "friends" over at Community Central would strip him of his Bureaucrat privileges. While his attempt to twist my words was laughably pathetic, I'll admit I may have gone too far. Another bureaucrat, ThisUserLikesOreo, charged me with "edit warring, inserting unverified information, and harassing a bureaucrat," and hit me with a 3-month ban. I won't deny that my actions could be percieved as harassment, but let me tell you what the real issue is: Bureaucrats like GloweySpecs and ThisUserLikesOreo are letting eleutherophobia control their actions! They are afraid of freedom of speech, for the simple, selfish reason that they don't want certain opinions to be seen or heard!

If you're tired of putting up with piles of horse manure like GloweySpecs, then I call on you to band together and knock them off their perch! Fear of reprisal is always the wrong way to keep people in line, and the sooner our staff realizes that, the sooner Fandom will truly become the funnest place on the Internet. So, please, do your part and demote GloweySpecs.
