 :John, I hesitate to butt in here, but I don't think that is the best solution. I think what people really want is for you to change your ways. I think there are options other than sitting out the block or taking an extended break from editing Mormon-related articles. Again, I'm not trying to insert myself into a discussion where I don't belong, but I'd like to talk with you about this if you're willing. ~   
 ::There should be ample evidence that I've "changed my ways" if I take "an extended break from editing Mormon-related articles."  I've offered to do that before, and I'm offering to do it again in exchange for being unblocked.   

 ::: I'd propose an indefinite topic ban on Mormon-related articles and related talkpages, broadly construed.  Any violation would lead to an indefinite block.  A reduction of the topic ban could reviewed on ANI no earlier than 1 year after it is implemented.
