I have had a clean record for many years with over 5 000 edits often I have served as a mediator on some very contentious issues and in doing so have been praised by both sides of such issues see barnstars here I m not perfect and I have lost my cool a bit in response to a provocation I did depersonalize the comment for which I was blocked prior to the block Here is the admission that his post that I responded to was a provocation I was being fascious just yanking your chain Fasutian Nobody in my profession uses this test not because we couldn t but because we have no need for it talk contribs I was warned that I may be blocked for more comments and I did comment in a personal way but again I then depersonalized it I will not engage in such behavior now I would like to make edits on other articles and participate in a civilized discussion and would prefer that my record not be tarnished by this mistake
