:: 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))
:: By the way, the "stress" that you said that I have been enduring is not from the Calmosoft user, but the characterizations (by others) of his actions and the summarily actions taking ''against'' that user and some of his draft tasks, especially with the lack of communication to/from that said user. Maybe he has other time or health issues, or whatever. I know I was out-of-pocket more than once (away from Rosetta Code) for various reasons and/or for lengthy time periods. Or maybe some other kind of communication breakdown or difficulty is the culprit. But who knows what's happening "over there" at the other end. I know for certain that -I- don't know. I'm not that quick to judge when there isn't two-way communications. I was on that same side of that fence once myself, so I guess I sympathize more with guy being hanged then most people. This is why I was helping out with those draft tasks and added verbiage to Calmosoft's draft tasks (as well as others, here and there). Once Calmosoft saw how to include URL's and my somewhat more verbose way of asking for task requirements, he was adding the "extra" stuff (wording) on his own. A little bit of help here and there (and there and here) goes a long way instead of beating the poor guy over the head with a large stick. I believe that is (or should be) one of the core beliefs at Rosetta Code. Treat others like you'd like to be treated yourself. Sorry to quote Biblical. But sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when maybe you were that inexperienced --- I know I certainly was. --- It was Michael Mol who helped me out (there were a lot of arrows stuck in my back at the time, but I didn't know it as "they" were leaving messages on "my" talk page which I never knew that there was such a thing), without Mol's kindness and time spent, I wouldn't go on to enter over a thousand examples). Ha! I hope that that experience won't stop Mol from helping others out. <big> So, the beatings shall continue until moral improves! </big> -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 12:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
