I've went ahead and revoked talk page access as well. I'm pretty liberal about how blocked editors use their talk page as long as it is at least partially related to their work at Wikipedia, but it seems pretty obvious that you are using yours for a soapbox only and not to conduct Wikipedia related discussions or to seek an unblock. I would also note that this is a sockpuppet account, so normally we require you log into the master account to seek an unblock anyway.

I encourage any and all admin to review the history and make their own determination. If any admin feels I'm too involved to be unbiased, or that this is a mistake, then by all means, please revert it and simply leave a note to that effect on my talk page. This isn't about the attacks on me (he has posted these all over the place, I'm not concerned) and I've waited to see if he is going to actually request an unblock, but it seems abundantly clear that his only use for the page will be a soapbox, and regardless of who was the target, this is inappropriate. I've watched it go on for a long while without comment, figuring it would blow over eventually, but it seems pretty obvious that this a pattern due to the history of updating and refining the same attacking, soapboxing message. As few people likely watch this page (he had very few article edits with this sock) I've just taken the same action I expect any admin would have.

I would direct Gawain to WP:GAB for information on getting unblocked, or to file the inevitable complaint over my actions. I will post a notice on WP:AN that I have taken this action. Dennis Brown - © Join WER 13:23, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
