{{unblock|That is absolutely false. I absolutely did not ""make a personal attack"" on you. Dishonestly claiming a false pretext to block me is a reprehensible abuse of your authority. Since the stated reason for this one-week block is wholly spurious, absolutely false, I demand to be unblocked immediately.

Not only did I never make any ""personal attack"" against you, admins will observe that I actually thanked and praised you for intervening, which I also did in my private email message to you. This pretext for a one week block is absolutely spurious. You're making a minor disagreement on a tangential point on the Talk page into something personal and abusing your authority.

As for your comments on the Talk page:

 I never accused you of making ad hominem arguments, I asked you to calm down  WP:DISENGAGE.

I was never not ""cool"" to begin with, so it's unnecessary to tell me to ""calm down"", ""cool down"", etc. Moreover, you said to me: ""I see some efforts being made to try to work out the differences, they will not be worked out if you resolve to not negotiate and dig in your heels. Respectful discussion free of attacks is the best way to do this ..."" This implies I had made ""attacks"" on people in lieu of trying to negotiate a solution reasonably. But like I said, and as you seem to now acknowledge, I never employed any ad hominem arguments (i.e., ""attacks""). Moreover, any administrator can go to the Talk page and see for themselves that I've gone to extraordinary lengths to negotiate a reasonable solution with other editors.

 You can be right about something and still be wrong  META:DBAD.

I don't know what it is you think I am ""right about"" but still ""wrong"" about. But you seem to be implying I'm being a ""dick"". I challenge you to present any quotes from me evidencing your implication that I've been a ""dick"", i.e. by making ""personal attacks"". You'll find you are unable to do so.

 You have engaged in a level of rhetoric that has created a hostile atmosphere (WP:CIVIL), you refuse to relent from your positions and you attack the positions of others with walls of text and barbs (WP:DBF). You've had editors ask you to calm down and you've had admins ask you to calm down and yet you've attacked anyone who has asked you to  WP:NOTTHEM.

Again, this is a false characterization. Every response of mine to others arguments has been to address the facts and logic of their arguments, as I am doing here with you. I have in no way been uncivil either with you or the other editors engaged on the Talk page. I have discussed diverging views and made numerous concessions to others on the Talk page in order to come to a consensus. My replies to others on their positions have consisted of substantive responses on points of fact and logic, never ""personal attacks"" or ""barbs"" (""walls of text"" might apply, as I've gone to extraordinary length to outline my own views and to support my own arguments with facts and logic).

 # ""Unhelpful"" is not a word.

Thanks for the correction. I'll reiterate: ""Kindly quote me where I ever employed any ad hominem arguments, as opposed to addressing the facts and logic of the argument(s) put forth. You'll find, Wgfinley, you're unable to do so. So kindly refrain from suggesting otherwise. It's not helpful. Cheers.""

Incidentally, it is apparently this comment you here regard as a ""personal attack"" against you. Any other admin can see for themselves I did not attack you here. On the contrary, I merely observed here that you had characterized ME as making ""attacks"", when I had never done so. You're making this personal and abusing your authority.

 This is the first thing you posted immediately after your previous ban expired (WP:NAM) followed by open questioning of your ban even being valid, it appears you need more time to cool down, 7 days should do.

You have not substantively addressed even a single point in my argument why my previous ban was wrongful. Yet you block me further on an even more spurious pretext  this time an absolutely false allegation that I attacked you personally. Other admins can confirm I never once did so.

 If you come back from this block and engage in more vitriol here again I'll have no choice but to take further sanctions and ban you from editing or discussion on this article per WP:GS.

On your further mischaracterization of any of my remarks of mine as ""vitriol"", see above.

I would request that whatever admin makes a decision on this that you please substantively address my points here. The stated reason for my being blocked for 1 week is that I made a ""personal attack"" on Wgfinley. Admins will find that I have never once done so. This block is therefore inappropriate and an abuse of authority. As such,
