A few weeks ago Jimbo wrote and said that I am not going to be banned, and that I was just being hysterical. Yet Raul654 told me that Jimbo had authoried this ban. Someone was clearly lying, and I am sure that it was Raul who was not being honest.
Robert, I'm astounded to see you twist the facts in this way.
1. First, I never said that you would not be banned. Please refer to my actual words:

You expressed a concern *nearly a month ago* that you might be banned "any moment now, for absolutely no reason at all". This was not true then, and it is not what happened. You were banned after the rather excruciatingly long due process that we give to such things around here.
2. It is true in some sense that I "authorized this ban", since I have delegated decision making to the ArbCom in cases of this sort. They are instructed to follow the rules of Wikipedia in deciding such things, and I'm confident in this case that they have done so.
