GWH, I tried e-mailing you during my block to discuss this, but you refused to respond. So let's discuss it right here on your User Talk page, now that my block has expired. I agree that my use of the word "thug" deserved a block. 

I deserved it. I apologize. 

I will never allow myself to be baited into a violation of WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL again.

However, you are making a WP:POINT of ignoring more blatant violations by other editors, such as . The diffs posted above, and his conduct at ANI both in October and yesterday, are textbook examples of baiting. The "school of piranha" analogy is appropriate. You are a walking case of selective enforcement. Like BU,  deserves to be blocked for his edit warring and does not deserve the benefit of the doubt for his sockpuppetry, due to the edit warring context in which it occurred, and his failure to immediately claim the IP puppet's edit as his own. But you won't do it.

I believe we should find the proper venue to discuss your selective enforcement of Wikipedia policy, specifically addressing your abuse of admin privileges to support editors you like and block editors you don't like (because they resist POV pushing and edit warring by editors you like). Would you be so kind as to point us in the right direction? I'll enlist people like ,   and CoM to help me gather all the diffs (since they've all had previous encounters with BU and LotLE, and know where the "bodies" are buried), and we'll examine your selective enforcement practices in detail.

Or would you prefer to go forward with an investigation of the editing patterns of people like LotLE and BU, and decide fairly on the subject of blocking them? I could go either way at this point. You decide. Skoal
