::This person has been making the same clearly dumb edits with inflammatory edit summaries between multiple different IPs after several bans, with no other positive contributions, they have long since passed the line of reasonably assumable good faith. And the point of my message isn't about you being "overly harsh" or "antagonistic", it's about not wasting your time with bad faith users and not give them the attention they're seeking. Regarding not permabanning the IP, what Canvas said is right, IPs should never be permabanned (this person jumping between different IPs already demonstrates why permabanning them is a bad idea), and six months is about the longest they should be banned for, with a year being the absolute max for particularly severe cases. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:46, April 22, 2022 (EDT) | ::This person has been making the same clearly dumb edits with inflammatory edit summaries between multiple different IPs after several bans, with no other positive contributions, they have long since passed the line of reasonably assumable good faith.

:::Yes, I'm well aware of this person's history. I've even been the target of their insults on multiple occasions, simply for reverting their edits and explaining in a calm, professional tone why I did so. And I honestly doubt that if they'll learn their lesson if they haven't already. But I still see their edits as hyper-focusing on a single issue that is probably born out of a misplaced desire to use "correct" terminology, instead of trolling or vandalism. If that's true, then I can at least understand where this editor may be coming from, since I too have a tendency of hyper-focusing on smaller issues, such as specific terminology. And if I'm focused on something I shouldn't be, then I may need someone to tell me to snap out of it. | |||
:::Case in point. Here, I focused more on you telling me that yelling at another user is unacceptable, since that wording came across less as "hey, don't bother wasting your time, that's why we have a policy against it" and more as "you're in big trouble for flaming" (hence why I felt the need to defend myself as acting in good faith), rather than focusing on your intended message. | |||
:::But you're right, I'm probably just wasting my time trying to speak to someone who doesn't want to listen. --[[User:PeabodySam|PeabodySam]] ([[User talk:PeabodySam#top|talk]]) 19:33, April 22, 2022 (EDT) | |||
