→Complaint regarding actions of User:ASDamick as sysop
:::: All in all, I find your conduct here rather sad.

::::: I must admit to being filled with incredulity! It's one thing to say, "Rejecting the term ''Greek Orthodox'' for this article is inappropriate because ____ or inaccurate because _____ or the wrong approach because _____." It is entirely something else to describe it as "Anti-Greek Madness" (contrasted with the "Common Sense" of the approach you were pushing). Sure, that may not grammatically have been a direct accusation of racism, but I have a hard time believing that it can be read to mean anything else, especially followed by the fascinating psychological analysis of an entire Archdiocese of people (most of whom are still not converts, by the way). Either way, it's still pretty clearly inflammatory language, as was telling me that the arguments and reasons I'd given for my own approach weren't really arguments or reasons at all or that I was being essentially irrational and Protestant in my comments. I couldn't find a single passage in your text which meant, "Hey, let's work together! I believe that you're editing in good faith!"
::::: In that vein, should you receive an official warning under the [[OrthodoxWiki:Disciplinary policy|new policy]], you're free to appeal it. Since the warning I gave you earlier was essentially "unofficial," I'm honestly not sure what we're discussing any longer, unless you'd care to continue with the litany of what an awful, dishonest and unclever priest, sysop, poet, writer, etc., I am (not to mention at least the suggestion of being insanely racist against Greeks). —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

:::::: I'm tired of you, Andrew Damick. It has not been my purpose to talk with you on this page, but to raise a complaint about your inappropriate conduct as a sysop. I have merely responded to your less-than-upright "defences" of your actions, in which, rather than admit your mistakes, you deliberately mischaracterise my statements and defend your using the word "jerk" on the authority of your mother. Now, whilst I cannot doubt for a second that your mother is an authority on jerks, you certainly had no business (either as priest or sysop) using that word in this context, and you had no business issuing a "warning" as a means of lashing out when you had lost your temper. Since you make it very clear to everyone that you are a priest, my judgement of you is on that basis: you do not act in a way that is appropriate of the grace of priesthood, and your conduct brings into disrepute both your Church and your Bishop. Shame on you, Andrew Damick. [[User:Seminarist|Seminarist]] 08:42, May 30, 2008 (UTC)
