Why did I get blocked but not BananaClownMan? It takes two to tango. Or, in this case, to edit war. 213.123.3.79talk to me 15:37, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
No reply? 213.123.3.79talk to me 15:43, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
Hello? Anybody home? You were quick enough to block me! 213.123.3.79talk to me 15:45, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
Disregard that, the clown is now blocked. Thanks! 213.123.3.79talk to me 15:46, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
OK, now my block has been extended for 'calling him a clown'. Uh... I never called him that? When I said 'the clown', I was referring to the fact that his username has the word 'clown' in it! 213.123.3.79talk to me 21:11, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
Would you rather I changed it to say 'the banana' or 'the man'? 213.123.3.79talk to me 21:12, April 25, 2018 (UTC)
