Sandstein apparently thinks that everything not being a compliment is ipso facto derogatory There is also another possibility that hasnt crossed his mind neutral No English dictionary has derogatory or offensive label next to the definition of the word nationalist However in Sandsteins native language the word nationalist does have a derogatory undertone Here is the link to the definition of Nationalismus in the most authoritative German dictionary Duden where it has a label meist abwertend which translates into English as mostly pejoratively In German its used as a pejorative in English it isnt and it belongs to the neutral register I suspect that Sandstein mixed two entirely different usage contexts for otherwise related words with the same meaning in two different languages  It was not my intention to make any kind of personal attack If you look at my edit history you can see that my behavior has been nothing short of exemplary I have never heard anyone complaining about being offended by calling them nationalist More often than not it is I who is on the receiving end of abuse which sometimes provokes abrasive responses If someone said that they are offended I wouldve stopped  Sandsteins condescending comment about me apparently failing to understand something what justifying the educational component of the block by such lack of understanding is borderline insulting Perhaps Sandstain trains his dog by taking punitive measures when puppy does something wrong but may I remind him that were dealing with human actors here that are not Fachidioten with blinders that only respond to Pavlovian stimuli dispensed by the master with his blockWstick An administrator should not be making such comments when blocking other users They shouldnt probably be thinking of editors as offenders that ought to be subject to corrective measures blocks for their infractions policy violations but at least they could keep it to themselves  OK lets say I crossed the line with nationalist namecalling I didnt mean to use derogatorily but I can accept that it is not an appropriate conduct But what does that have to do with ARBMAC and the excessively long block As I far I can see the guidelines on the WPPA require posting a message on users talkpage and seeking mediation None of that happened PA is a communityapproved policy which takes precedence over anything ArbCom decides or any admin broadly interprets A week is something that trolls and badfaith editors get Surely its too excessive  This whole circus is a result of content dispute with the user who submitted the enforcement request It was not made in good faith and his ulterior goal is to remove me from editing a set of lowimportance articles that are currently not in a NPOV state He also submitted a sockpuppet investigation against me with evidence such as lastyears sarcastic comment of mine on a sister project as well as edits that I made years ago With all that in mind I must say that Wikipedia community has become very effective at giving partisan editors tools to target undesirable editors  a Byzantine collection of policies which admins overzealously enforce without a second thought and without thinking of a big picture Admins in fact are incentivized not to involve themselves which basically gives the enforcement gun to POVpushers which are intimately acquainted with all the glorious details of the relevant wikilese I urge admins to think outside the policyenforcing requestobserving mode and think whether blocking me in any way helps to resolve the pending content disputes
