 == Regarding the question at WP:AN == 
 Hi Tom, 
 I phrased it as a hypothetical at AN because I viewed it as a systemic question, and because I did not want to duplicate an open discussion on a particular user. I didn't see an e-mail address for you, so I'll provide the links to the examples on which I based the question here: the archived ANI report is here and the recently-retrieved-from-the-archive ANI report is here. Even as recently as yesterday, interactions with others get results like this edit summary . Yet the report has been open since June 21 with no action taken. So, that's the background context on which I based the hypothetical question. Regards     "
