Max Semenik, oh man, I really don't want to lose the ability to edit this page.  So could you please clarify exactly what you mean by insults?  For example...I don't think that your response to my concern was reasonable...so would it be an insult if I said that your response was unreasonable?  What if you burned a book...would it be an insult if I referred to you as a book burner?  

When I looked over the Wikipedia entry on personal attacks...it states that comments ""should be directed at content and actions rather than people.""  Referring to somebody as a book burner clearly is directed at content (books) and actions (burning) rather than the person.  It's not a matter of who they are...it's a matter of what they are doing.

In my situation...I've simply described the actions of these two editors in terms of how it relates to the content.  It's one thing if you were to argue that my description of their behavior was inaccurate...but that's not what you did....you simply said that I had insulted them.  

What would I have to gain from insulting them?  I'm a really reasonable guy.  I absolutely love reason...I respond really well to it.  Are you a reasonable person?  If so, then please share the precise reasoning behind your decision to deny my request to be unblocked.  What would really help is if you could copy and paste exactly which rules/regulations that I've violated.  I've looked over both the entry on personal attacks and the entry on harassment and can find nothing that specifically matches my own actions.    "
