I posted a msg in this thread about having a page deleted while I am
banned. It has deterirated from there as people insisting the subject is the
edit ban on Wikipedia, see the mail from MacGyverMagic/Mgm. Tackling
some of these post is the issue.
The anthropomorphizing of the list is also a problem.

The more interesting question, to me, is why
you've come back again to
a list that has made it clear that you're not wanted. I'd respond to
the rest of your e-mail, but it was sufficiently incoherent.
Well, except for the part of there being no explanation. Perhaps you
haven't noticed the general explanation for your sanction. See, you
write abusive messages both via e-mail and on Wikipedia. You delete or
yell at any attempts to discuss your behavior with you. You were given
a chance to reflect and reform by Jimbo. You proceeded to launch more
personal attacks, and the arbcom, to their credit, only gave you a
three month ban anyway.
Instead of backing off and recognizing that you've been pissing people
off, and that you're the only one who sees what's happened to you as a
grave injustice, you went to the mailing list and began sending
incoherent screeds. When you got banned, again, you failed to recognize
that there was a point that you could get, and you returned.
And I'm sure, if you respond to this, it'll be with a flame. But, hell,
why not try again. The simple fact of what's been going wrong for you
is that your inability to take any clue, whether mildly or bluntly
phrased, and recognize that your behavior is inappropriate. The fact
that your reactions to these clues is to behave inappropriately
aggravates the situation.
But if you want to, you know, get and stay unbanned, not repeating the
behavior that got you banned would be a wise start.

Of course with no explanation. Just a continuation of the high kacking

There in general cowardly actions are hidden behind a human sheild of
wikipedia users.
