Irrationalatheist.
User is abusing bin/block privileges. To whit: Three non-friendly blocks vs. Earthland in a 24 hour period. Vandal binned a new user after a single talk page edit. Suggest tarring and feathering. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. --  = w =  21:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Suggest egg & flour attack, followed by toilet papering. It's more fun & easier to wash out than the tar & feathers.   21:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 3 non-friendly blocks in a 24 hours period is too few. 21:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Promote.--BobIt's cold! 21:07, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Plus two previous non-friendly blocks and a totally-uncalled-for vandal bin? I'm not so sure. I'd promote for a while at least. –SuspectedReplicant retire me 21:08, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * IR is too ready with the bin & block. Seems to use them as argument points. Promote. 21:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Joking aside, I suggest we rehabilitate Irrationalatheist and train him to the greater good. What is the wiki equivalent of waterboarding? Promoting him for a short period so the message sticks? 21:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

72 hours? A week? A day? TheoryOfPractice (talk) 21:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree with a promotion - then lets see what he has to say for himself. Acei9 21:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * (ECX2)Three days I think. We don't do ideological blocks. I've been avoiding Earthland's essay/talkpage saga (FFS everyone, if you don't like his stuff, don't read it!), maybe other people should too if they can't control themselves. Totnesmartin (talk) 21:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have already demoted him. When to restore is up to you guys. --  = w =  21:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think three days is reasonable. Did he really bin that new editor after one edit?  21:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

He did. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, because the link above doesn't show it. That was why I was agreeing, since EL can unblock himself (right?) and is equally nasty to IR.  But binning a noob is bad.  00:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I say a week promotion and three day block, unless it is too late to input my opinions, in which case I would like a sandwich and pickle. And maybe some salt & vinegar chips (That's crisps to all you Brits).  -- 22:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Three days of promotion is enough, although it would be nice to hear from him. 23:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking at his user page, it looks like he's leaving and never coming back. I assume for the crime of not agreeing with his actions, thus making us irrational and Uncyclopedia and so forth. --Kels (talk) 23:11, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * He can have his rights back in three days regardless of whether he has left or not. His new sock will earn them in that amount of time any way. 23:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
