i'm not the one you have to convince it is the many many others you know me well enough to know i don't take offense if someone reverts me even if i disagree with it i'm more tolerant of that kind of stuff than the average bear you also know me well enough that my logic nor words can't be twisted around so easily and that i wouldn't have declined unless i felt that was the appropriate response after careful deliberation while i will remain open minded i'm not currently convinced that unblocking is in the best interest of wikipedia at this time it was not a drive by decline nor prompted or requested by anyone and i chose to consider it because it has sat for almost hours with no one willing to consider the issue if you choose to unblock him i am not going to labor the issue with you personally our friendship is certainly stronger than that but others may not be so forgiving unless there is a clear path forward in my opinion there is trollish behavior involved crafty but subtle as always anyone is free to discount or ignore my opinions if they so choose without fear of reprisal join wer
