we will have to disagree to disagree on whether my claimed pa is trivial i think it's important to also consider the context this derogatory comment about me that completely misconstrued my history was made on a policy talk page in a discussion in which the contributor was not even participating besides the opening sentence of npa is do not make personal attacks anywhere in wikipedia this is not qualified to not apply when the attacks are considered by some but not the target to be trivial it's a shame that wikipedia has a written policy that so clearly takes a reasonable and very firm stand against personal attacks but that acceptance of such behavior as being trivial within wp is apparently fairly widespread all i did was delete a comment that was a personal attack per wp npa i've stated my reasons and will not repeat them but i will review the arbcom cases you mentioned thank you for bringing them to my attention you completely lost me when you said a way to avoid being banned from editing bicycling topics is to recognize that wikipedia is highly political what does this have to do with bicycling topics if there are complaints about me alleging that i'm carrying out a campaign of activism by pressing too many extreme interpretations i would like to know what they are what the basis for the complaints is and who is making them thank you again for your concerns
