::Further it's obvious to me that you didn't even bother looking at the situation where a user has engaged in widespread content-blanking (which IS covered under the definition of vandalism, "any addition, removal, or change of content, in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia"). They suggested I take it to the "helpdesk", but I was given no chance to see or respond to that message until, HOURS LATER, the admin blocked in an entirely retaliatory, punitive, against-policy manner.
