unblock that is absolutely false i absolutely did not make a personal attack on you dishonestly claiming a false pretext to block me is a reprehensible abuse of your authority since the stated reason for this one week block is wholly spurious absolutely false i demand to be unblocked immediately not only did i never make any personal attack against you admins will observe that i actually thanked and praised you for intervening which i also did in my private email message to you this pretext for a one week block is absolutely spurious you're making a minor disagreement on a tangential point on the talk page into something personal and abusing your authority as for your comments on the talk page i never accused you of making ad hominem arguments i asked you to calm down wp disengage i was never not cool to begin with so it's unnecessary to tell me to calm down cool down etc moreover you said to me i see some efforts being made to try to work out the differences they will not be worked out if you resolve to not negotiate and dig in your heels respectful discussion free of attacks is the best way to do this this implies i had made attacks on people in lieu of trying to negotiate a solution reasonably but like i said and as you seem to now acknowledge i never employed any ad hominem arguments i e attacks moreover any administrator can go to the talk page and see for themselves that i've gone to extraordinary lengths to negotiate a reasonable solution with other editors you can be right about something and still be wrong meta dbad i don't know what it is you think i am right about but still wrong about but you seem to be implying i'm being a dick i challenge you to present any quotes from me evidencing your implication that i've been a dick i e by making personal attacks you'll find you are unable to do so you have engaged in a level of rhetoric that has created a hostile atmosphere wp civil you refuse to relent from your positions and you attack the positions of others with walls of text and barbs wp dbf you've had editors ask you to calm down and you've had admins ask you to calm down and yet you've attacked anyone who has asked you to wp notthem again this is a false characterization every response of mine to others arguments has been to address the facts and logic of their arguments as i am doing here with you i have in no way been uncivil either with you or the other editors engaged on the talk page i have discussed diverging views and made numerous concessions to others on the talk page in order to come to a consensus my replies to others on their positions have consisted of substantive responses on points of fact and logic never personal attacks or barbs walls of text might apply as i've gone to extraordinary length to outline my own views and to support my own arguments with facts and logic unhelpful is not a word thanks for the correction i'll reiterate kindly quote me where i ever employed any ad hominem arguments as opposed to addressing the facts and logic of the argument s put forth you'll find wgfinley you're unable to do so so kindly refrain from suggesting otherwise it's not helpful cheers incidentally it is apparently this comment you here regard as a personal attack against you any other admin can see for themselves i did not attack you here on the contrary i merely observed here that you had characterized me as making attacks when i had never done so you're making this personal and abusing your authority this is the first thing you posted immediately after your previous ban expired wp nam followed by open questioning of your ban even being valid it appears you need more time to cool down days should do you have not substantively addressed even a single point in my argument why my previous ban was wrongful yet you block me further on an even more spurious pretext this time an absolutely false allegation that i attacked you personally other admins can confirm i never once did so if you come back from this block and engage in more vitriol here again i'll have no choice but to take further sanctions and ban you from editing or discussion on this article per wp gs on your further mischaracterization of any of my remarks of mine as vitriol see above i would request that whatever admin makes a decision on this that you please substantively address my points here the stated reason for my being blocked for week is that i made a personal attack on wgfinley admins will find that i have never once done so this block is therefore inappropriate and an abuse of authority as such
