Just accept the fact that you are not longer welcomed on the wiki. Let's keep this in a amicable fashion, shall we? Y'know what we could use here? A mirror. A switcheroo. Whatever you wanna call it, I think this can help you guys understand each other. You're up first, Rask:

You're JEAN9999, a bureaucrat of the Star Warfare wiki. You do your job, getting rid of troublemakers and solving disputes. Then this guy Rask 91 comes on. For a while, he's a respectable editor: respectful, active. His only real problem is his mouth. He has a tendency to swear. He's given some warnings, but he continues to do it. So, your fellow wiki staff member ECSL bans him. What does he do? He makes a fake account, messing up your friend's page, and goes on a rant on you. Eventually, ECSL unbans the guy, and what does he do? Goes right back to his usual antics: accusing another member of being someone different than they say they are, without any substantial evidence. So, you ban this guy again. He does exactly what he did to ECSL to you. I mean, come on! You're just doing your job! Why do you deserve this crap for doing exactly what you were elected to do. This guy Rask then enters an argument between you and another user and makes a hateful remark to you, telling you to go back to Mexico on the sheer fact that you can speak Spanish. Hurt and enraged, you fire back at this guy, who's so provocative he gets freaking STAFF involved. You go in peace for a while until you have to deal with Shadurr, the troll face incarnate. This guy goes on you even more than Rask did, getting the entire wiki involved, rather than just the people who served him justice. After some rage fueled actions by a certain user and two of his friends (yeah, I'll take some of the blame here) he tries to wage the first wiki war, a preposterous idea that will almost certainly fail. To make matters even more twisted, this guy Rask from earlier joins up with Shadurr, causing even more problems with multiple proxies. Eventually, Shadurr burns himself out, mellowing down, but Rask? Oh no, not him. He keeps making "bombing runs" on SW wiki, insulting two of the previous vandals and getting himself banned again. He will occasionally join in arguments with Stryker, another unaccepting individual, until it reaches this very thread.

Jean, you're pretty much not a problem at all, but you can still learn a thing or two from this:

You're Rask 91, a new contributor to the Star Warfare wiki. You go ahead and mind your own business, editing, chatting with friends. You're a good guy, with a bit of a swearing problem. Eventually, this problem catches up to you, being reported by a friend about your conduct in a PM, getting you a 300 year ban. You're mad. You feel that this is a ridiculous punishment for such a relatively small problem. So, you decide to get a little vengeance. You make a proxy, provocatively named LCSE, a distorted spelling of your oppresors name. You goof up his page, which he just shrugs off and fixes, while eliminating the use of your new account. Eventually, you get a chance for redemption. But, you abuse this privilege by accusing another user of lying about their identity. You've shown no evidence to back up your claim, and this person is coincidentally the person who got you banned in the first place. Naturally, everyone assumes you're just harassing the user, and you get banned again by JEAN9999 instead of ECSL. This is the final straw. Then Shadurr comes along. After exposing himself in a major scandal, he gets banned, and a small group of users decides to get revenge by messing up his new hangout (again, I take some blame). This guy gets so peeved, he declares a wiki war. Then, you realize that revenge is finally within your grasp. You join Shadurr, along with some other allies, on this ambitious goal. However, this goal goes up in flames after Shadurr himself decides to call it off. Him, Jean, and Ecsl make a deal: them and their group stick to themselves, you guys stick to yourselves. But, that's not good enough for you. You keep at it, harrasing two of the earlier vandals and harassing Jean along the way. This cycle continues until it reaches this current thread.

I may have missed out on some details. I was going off of memory there. I'm confident that I got your guys thoughts and feelings correct, however. Y'know, you two aren't quite so different right now. Rask, you have your own wiki, which I'm sure you would protect just as much as Jean does his. I saw what you did with me. You perceived me as a threat and shut me down. Do you really think Jean would act any differently?

I guess our moral os all actions have consequences, whether good or bad. I've learned that with the Shadurr fiasco. I think it's nigh time you learned it, Rask. And If you knew it, follow it already!
