3 you think what I said constituted a threat and regardless of its merit it created a hostile editing environment 4 you think it violated some policy I am not aware of regarding off wiki drafts or some such I m going to stop there If 1 As I have already clarified the GA criteria indicate that those articles should be either improved to bring them up to legitimate GA status or reassessed CurtisNaito s track record of OWNership and edit warring indicates that the former is impossible leaving the latter option Reassessing those articles would be in accordance with content policy and I wasn t actually threatening to do so anyway I was threatening not to do so In my two years of arguing with CurtisNaito I have in all but one occasion the Emperor Jimmu article chosen the carrot over the stick If 2 You should express that opinion in an appropriate forum like an article talk page or the currently open History of Japan GAR Blocking one side of a content dispute because you happen to agree with the other is inappropriate especially when the other side has explicitly violated an ANI final warning numerous times over the past two weeks Note that I don t actually think this is why you blocked me I m grabbing at straws Sorry Just noticed this If 3 You may be right but look what I have had to deal with CurtisNaito has requested four times in the last five months on both ANI and ArbCom that I be site banned for disagreeing with his edits even though pretty much everyone else disagrees with them too If there s a hostile editing environment I m not the one to blame And as in 1 above it was not a threat anyway I was offering a favour in exchange for CurtisNaito granting me the favour of not requesting that I be site banned anymore If this is what you meant it s a good faith misunderstanding and I will try to avoid such misunderstandings in the future but I should still be unblocked If 4 Tell me the policy I won t violate it again I also won t appeal the block though since I ve been here too long for ignorance of the rules to be a valid excuse
