Gerard, please see [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/User_talk:Thundergnat#Task_deletions this] reply from Thundergnat. He explains the task is from a "serial dumper" leading to his actions. If so, then the root problem is that serial dumper. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 10:37, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
:: Yes, I had already read it, and yet I wrote all this. But, I believe the real root problem is: ''deleting tasks without adequate discussion and/or warning should not be done''. The baby got thrown out with the bathwater. Wait, where have I read that? If everyone agrees (two people, three people?) that it was a case of "serial dumping", then it is what it is. Can't argue with that logic. But, I want to hear anything/something from the other side first. Calling it "dumping" is part of the problem. And, to top it off, it was "serial". Maybe we should call it very sudden stupid and mindless serial dumping unto innocent Rosetta Code victims of nearly identical tasks with nearly exactly the same programming solutions taken from a maze of twisted and twisting passages, all alike. Oh my. Oh well, I sympathize with the guy banned (even for a few days). It makes it hard to have a discussion with a guy who can't give his side, and I have a suspicion that English is his second (or third) language, and that he may have a hard time expressing himself adequately, or maybe he doesn't feel it's worth the effort to explain his motives or actions (heaven knows how that can work out, I can attest it does no good). But once banned, I doubt that he'll be forth coming. I remember my first foray at Rosetta Code, I knew not of what templates were (that could be used to flag an incorrect programming solution (as I had never seen a flag at that early time at Rosetta Code), nor did I know where people were trying to contact me on my user page, which I really didn't know existed. Thankfully, Michael Mol wrote me an e-mail (very politely and courteously worded, that guy has got class) clued me in where things were. That was a little over a decade ago. Any-a-whose, just a thought as I have no proof either way ya look at it. Just ignore my stuff (above), it's just like a fart in the wind. (Nice movie, made in 1939.) Gone in a few seconds, and nothing is noticed. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 12:09, 9 December 2020 (UTC))
