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_b…).
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.
I have unblocked you, because this seems clearly inappropriate, especially
given that the user has had a conflict with you in the past. Except for
clear cases of vandalism, blocks of this sort should not be unilaterally
made without an Arbitration Committee ruling.
