Addition to the above. A community ban discussion was started as a subsection there on 14 June, and then a topic ban proposal (since SNOW closed), and then on 15 June a proposal for an unappealable 6-month block, which remains open, as does the CBAN discussion.

:Hi, I made a proposal for a warning. I think current ANI custom says I'm supposed to notify you on your talk page about the proposal, not just ping, so here you go. Sorry for the multiple notifications though. Levivich (talk) 17:48, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello bloodofox, I have closed the ANI discussion about you [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#c-Vanamonde93-20250708202200-User:bloodofox]. There was no consensus for a sanction, but there is broad agreement that you have been uncivil, assumed bad faith, and made personal attacks. You need to recalibrate your approach, or a sanction in your future is quite likely. If you have any questions about my closure please let me know. Best, Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:27, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I just discovered the ANI thing involving Complaints About BloodofOx®, and holy shit. It's garbo, if you ask me—I've read through many discussions wherein your username appeared, and never can I recall having thought "this person is OUT OF LINE!" or the like. In fact, probably the opposite; for some reason, the whole subject seems to attract more than its share of over-enthusiastic amateurs & crackpots (not that these are necessarily the same! I've been one myself! ...not a crackpot, I mean, t'other thing–), and I'd have probably lost all patience after seeing someone "correct" an article with the same dam' misapprehension as the last twenty times...

I happen to really like Germanic myth & legend, Norse history, and so on—but I don't edit in the category very much, because I don't know very much; but it appears that people who take the opposite course & decide they'd like to convey their personal thoughts anyway are both legion, and unusually thin-skinned.

→ "Look at what bloodofox did!"

→ "No, that's incorrect; here's a link to the actual context."

→ "Well, so I'm wrong, but I'm still concerned about how that you're not taking my hurt feelings my motivated attacks my constructive criticism on board!"

I mean, what do you even say to people like that?

Anyway, just thought I'd drop a note of appreciation for all of your excellent & erudite contributions, and register some discontent with the whole situation. I doubt my input would actually be of any use—but if it would, I'll cheerfully write a "This Is Silly U Guys" essay over there... sheesh! [edit: nvm; I did anyway, heh. perhaps it's just because I've not been ox-bit myself, or because I remember the Wild West days online wherein only an outright slur was cause for admin intervention—or sometimes, not even then—but I really am rather shocked that this is what's considered a Big Deal on Wiki now. oh, well, maybe it's all for the best, or somethin'–]

Cheers,
