[WikiEN-l] Protesting my ban

I did not block Svigor, and have no plans to do so.  I agree that so far he has played by the rules, and as long as he does so, I have no problems with him.

He mentioned it as a point in argument. He did not threaten to invite them. And in any event, according to established Wikipedia policy they and their neonazi viewpoints are welcome. He may have technically broken the three revert rule, but that is to be expected from a new user when they first enounter determined opposition. His spam linking is not in itself a violation.

Due to the frustrating nature of dealing with this type of point of view editor, your frustration is understandable, but you can't properly ban folks, even of disagreeable views, if they follow Wikipedia rules.

He tried, in a show of good faith, to discuss many of the controverted points on the talk page of [[white nationalism]] but is not getting much discussion on the points he raised.

Please note that this user has already threatened to invite posters on a White nationalist website to "visit" WIkipedia in order to make sure that the [[White nationalism]] article matches their POV.  And his comment that he has not reverted an article is untrue.  See the history of [[White nationalism]].  He has also spam linked the White nationalism article, but I've used up my three reverts.
