[WikiEN-l] Abuse of his position as Administrator by WIKIPEDIA user Neutrality- not what the $50,000 was donated for.

Sat Nov 13 23:28:31 UTC 2004

If Neutrality blocked you, it appears to me that he has every reason to 
have done so. Making edits with summaries such as "_//Opposed nazi 
censorship and anti-semitism of users here//_" and "Answered nazi 
abuser" as well as extremely controversial edits to articles such as 
[[England]] which are opposed by community consensus and continuing to 
make them agaist consensus - in addition to opnely supporting Rex071404 
and Irismeister, users against whom extensive arbcom cases have been 
made for repeated violations of Wikipedia's civility and "no personal 
attacks" policies, for reasons on which a consensus has been reached as 
to their invalidity - generally do not reflect well on a person and his 
ability to work with Wikipedia (all of the above can be found in 
WikiUser's contribution list) and can rightfully be interpreted as "bad 
faith" and "disruptive". I've never encountered you before, so if you 
would like to explain the reasoning behind some of these edits you've 
made, please do, but until then I think it can safely be said that 
Neutrality's actions were in the interests of Wikipedia as a whole.

I await your defence to the above with interest.
