OK, I said above I won't speak, interact or call the user's place of employment again.  You all don't believe me.  Semantics cause you to think ""not likely"" means I will call them again, even though I said I won't.  Now there is a call for a community ban, I can't defend myself.  My record is not a pretty one, but prior to this block, I was a year and a half without a block and the one in 2011 was done by an involved admin (I will let you all debate that).  I kept my nose clean, did what I was told, jumped through the hoops, was trusted with access after access, I screw up, admit I screwed up, say it won't happen again, and everyone comes out the pitchforks and torches to run me out of town.

So, let me put it straight out here for you all: I screwed up, I will not call the user's place of employment again, I will not interact with the user.  If you all still don't trust me, if you still don't believe me, if you would rather look at the bad rather than the multitude of good, then so be it.  Ban me from Wikipedia.  But if you all think that the good should overrule the bad, that a royal fuck up is embarrassment enough, that losing the trust of my fellow editors is bad enough, that a public flogging is bad enough, then unblock me, let me do what I said (take TV station and network pages off my watchlist) and try to win your trust back.  Because I can't give you anymore than that. -  • Talk • "
