logicus your block will have expired soon i agree with jaimaster's analysis the block was not only improper because of raul involvement he's contesting that but i highly doubt that his position would stand up under arbcomm scrutiny if it ever comes to that it was procedurally improper as well i e you were not properly warned and what you'd done fell short of the level of disruption that would justify a block in my opinion even had you been properly warned there were problems with your behavior sure but blocking you wasn't where we should start to deal with it we should work together so that you become a more effective participant in the community if you decide to request unblock my suggestion is to simply ask for an independent review do not make long arguments keep it simple your block is not an emergency and it and raul 's subsequent responses may turn out to be very foolish moves on his part and to have no long term consequences for you if you simply do nothing if you were to for example become uncivil and tendentious it could complicate the situation watch this could get interesting
