Because Zero, Simonides and their sockpuppets want me
banned for good.

In a court of law, when someone says, "What is your
defense?", and you say "Here it is", and they respond
"Well, I refuse to listen to what you ask me to hear" that
is a clear sign that the court is rigged.  

Apparently, Zero and Simonides have dug up every quote they
could find in the last year to make it look like Jayjg,
Jimbo and the entire Wikipedia community want me banned. 
Funny, though, how they never say any such thing
themselves.  Worse, they take entire discussions, and cut
sentence fragments out-of-context.  More disgustingly,
Raul654 admits that he will refuse to read the actual
articles, and admits that the context of the sentence
fragments means nothing to him.  That is not merely wrong,
it is mean-spirited and unjustifiable.

When I look at the "evidence" presented against me, all I
find are sentence fragments, out of context, usually in
which I am asking other people to stop being abusive, and
to stop censoring pages.  Further, many of those are about
old disagreements WHICH HAVE LONG BEEN RESOLVED, and with
people that I now HAVE FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH.  If these
facts mean nothing, then the entire process is obviously a
dishonest farce.

Raul654 again let me know that Jimbo has given him the
authority to ban me, and that he is probably going to do so
unless I spend hour after hour rebutting each comment, one
at a time. As far as I can tell, this entire arbitration
process is a set-up meant to have me banned no matter what
I do.

These three people (Raul654, Simonides and Zero) are
treating me like a troll or vandal, and this is totally
outrageous. In the meantime, real trolls and vandals get
unbanned as long as they pester this list with multiple
e-mails.  Even Jimbo admitted that the process is broken,
and he allowed back a real troll just because he was tired
of arguing.

In the meantime, I might be banned any moment now, for
absolutely no reason at all:

1* I am not involved in any flame wars.

2* I am not involved in any revert wars or edit wars.

3* The supposed problems are in articles in which the
articles HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESOLVED.

4* I repeatedly take week-long (or longer) Wiki-breaks
(like the last 10 days) to let things cool down and allow
other people to have their say without any problem.

5* I have taken many contentious articles OFF of my
Watchlist, and simply let others do what they want, rather
then engage in multiple arguments.

6* I have asked for and successfully used mediation when
necessary.

7* I have been successfully working with a large group of
others on potentially acrimonious articles, without revert
wars, and with great progress being made on many articles.

And in this situation Raul654 is threatening to ban me? 
This has NEVER happened to anyone else in this situation
before. There is no reason for a ban, and the current
situation is clear and obvious harassment. The Request for
Arbitration process does not work if the arbitrator is
dishonest, which he must be if he ignores the seven
critical facts listed above.
