I hate to have to do this, but you have given me no other option.  [[User:Eganio|Eganio]] is one of the [[Administrator]]s on this wiki, so it is his responsibility to tell people "how to act".  If you are acting inappropriately, it is within his rights to correct you, and being an admin, he is actually ''expected'' to do so.  This account will now be blocked for the next 3 days.  When this block expires, I expect you to adjust your behavior to be respectful to all other editors.  Please consider enhancing not only the content of this wiki, but the community that helps to build it.  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 00:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

To address your concerns:
*"I was banned without warning?":
:I'm sorry, but you ''were'' warned.  Specifically, I stated in my first comment [[#Just a little comment|above]] "please try to have a civil conversation in response to disagreements."  It was after this that you once again acted in a disrespectful manner.  The problem wasn't just that you acted this way toward an [[Administrator]], but that you acted this way at all.  Normally your statement would not be dealt with in such a way; it was the escalating disregard for two separate administrators' suggestions that you settle disagreements in a civil manner that necessitated a block.  The block is only effective for 3 days; it will expire at (or around) 00:45 (UTC) on July 7th, 2008.  I am not trying to discourage you from editing.  In fact, once the block has expired, I encourage you to continue to add to our articles the obvious expertise you have on the subject; however, this will not be encouraged if it comes along with the attitude that you have been displaying.  No matter what an editors knowledge level on a particular subject is, is it ''not'' worth the decay of the community that we are working so very hard to establish among Grand Theft Wiki editors.
*"being a cocksucker":
:Due to the fact that this doesn't specify exactly what your complaint is, I will have to rehash the events that took place:
::Two or three days ago (It must be the difference in time zones that's causing me to see both "2 days ago" and "3 days ago"), you sent a board message to [[User:MasterChief117|MasterChief117]] that stated, "Aircraft is MY section. Lay off. I omitted the CH-53 from the likeness section because A), obvious aesthetic discrepancies, and B) because it has three engines, while the H-92, H-47, and Cargobob all have 2."
::[[User:Eganio|Eganio]] then sent you a board message that stated, "Just to let you know, nothing on this wiki is '''anyone's''' particular domain. In the future, please be more respectful to other editors, and DO NOT presume authority over anyone."
::Your response to this was, "My authority is validated by my knowledge on the subject."
::Eganio responded with a message that stated, "Yes, you seem very knowledgeable on the subject, but my point is that does '''not''' entitle you to presume that you automatically know better than '''everyone''' else. Discussion is a key aspect of making a wiki run smoothly because, after all, '''anyone''' can edit here. I ask again, '''please''' treat your fellow editors with the respect you expect others to afford you. If you feel you possess a better understanding of a particular subject, you need to discuss it first with other editors that might disagree with you, and give them the opportunity to see your point of view. '''DO NOT''' act as if you are '''the''' ultimate authority. No one here is."
::You, responded with, "DO NOT tell me how to act, buddy."
:The problem with this, as I stated [[#Blocked|above]], is that Eganio not only ''can'' suggest "how to act", being an administrator, he is actually ''expected to''.  I do not see how any of these comments show he was "being a cocksucker".
*"abusing his power":
:In what way was Eganio abusing his powers?  I did not notice one comment in which Eganio seemed to be doing so.
*"perhaps better selection of admins is necessary":
:I am sorry you feel this way, and I hope my explanations have eased your concerns regarding my suitability for the position.  If after this block has expired, you still feel the same way, I invite you to begin a ''civil'' conversation to see if any other editors feel the same way.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other concerns.  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 03:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
