I'm saying that for you to see conflict of interest in this situation was so far outside of any actual COI that it was not a sensible interpretation of the policy and had the appear of trying to find a way to get a better standing in the case. And given your past wikilawyer and manipulation of circumstances (evident from reading emails), I don't want to let you anywhere near a discussion about an article on this topic where you an a strong personal interest. I'm very sorry to say this because I know that it is not what you want to hear. But after being on the Committee for three years, and seeing your involvement in cases, AE enforcement, and reading the emails; I see the need to take a firm position about the topic ban. ♥♥♥♥
