By the way Im asking why you blocked me so I can reflect on what I did and decide whether or not to appeal There are a number of possible reasons you might think the above quote was unacceptable including  you think I was threatening to abuse GAR to pursue a personal vendetta rather than to improve the encyclopedia  you think CurtisNaitos article edits are awesome and for me to criticize them constitutes a personal attack  you think what I said constituted a threat and regardless of its merit it created a hostile editing environment  you think it violated some policy I am not aware of regarding offwiki drafts or some such Im going to stop there If  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 CurtisNaitos track record of OWNership and editwarring indicates that the former is impossible leaving the latter option Reassessing those articles would be in accordance with content policy and I wasnt 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  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 dont actually think this is why you blocked me Im grabbing at straws If  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 sitebanned for disagreeing with his edits even though pretty much everyone else disagrees with them too If theres a hostile editing environment Im not the one to blame And as in  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 sitebanned anymore If this is what you meant its a good faith misunderstanding and I will try to avoid such misunderstandings in the future but I should still be unblocked If  Tell me the policy I wont violate it again I also wont appeal the block though since Ive been here too long for ignorance of the rules to be a valid excuse
