[WikiEN-l] Improper block

Sun Dec 18 00:04:42 UTC 2005

Yesterday, I was blocked for four months by karmafist for using the phrase 
"deletionist vandals" on a few AfD entries.  He has blocked me in the past 
for the same thing, and has told me that he would block me in the future if I 
did it again (I did, and he did); however, he has not demonstrated that use 
of the phrase "deletionist vandals" is a blockable offense (he claims that it 
is a violation of NPA, a claim I dispute; for an explanation, see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kmweber#Block_Notice_Regarding_AFD_behavior).

I have told him that, should he refute my objection, I would gladly change my 
behavior; he, however, has not done so.  He simply dismisses it as "bullshit" 
and says that it does not NEED refutation, and then he makes the claim (which 
lacks any historical--or psychological--basis) that should he provide a valid 
refutation I would simply ignore it anyway.

I ask that, at the very least, due consideration be given to my argument 
rejecting his claim of inappropriate behavior on my part--if my argument is 
wrong, then show me why.  If not, then do the right thing and unblock me.  
That's all I ask.
