Robert,
You claim "I am not involved in any flame wars."
But just today on [[Talk:Holocaust denial examined]] you made the following edit: ":::HistoryBuffEr, you are clearly makin anti-Semitic and ad homenim attacks towards Jay, and you are pushing a Nazi agenda. Your edits will be reverted. [[User:RK|RK]] 17:58, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)"
Now, you may be right. I don't follow the edits in this area, but still a personal attack. I would have banned you long ago, but played no role in the arbitration case. May I suggest you take what happened as a lesson and learn from it and when you come back take a lighter attitude and have some fun instead of the constant uproar.
Fred

The banned users "Mr. Natural Health", Simonides, and Raul654, along with Zero, have succeeded in banning me from Wikipedia for four months. They had absolutely no reason to do so, but they did it out of sheer hatred and malice.
I find their behaviour dishonest, shocking and unjustified. 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.
Ironically, this uncalled for ban occurs on the heels of a long discussion, in which most of us recognized that several troublemakers were pushing away long-time Wikipedia contributors, and allowing trolls to run wild. Apparently, the clique who banned me is trying to make certain that the trolls run the asylum. Now Mr. Natural Health, Simonides and their sock-puppets can do huge amounts of damage yet again.
Consider the following seven facts. Has anyone EVER been banned from Wikipedia for such a huge amount of time in such cases? NEVER. Not once. There is clearly a lynch mob that hates me, lead by Mr. Natural Health and Simonides, two anti-Semites, one of whom even publicly admitted to being a Nazi. (Yet he wasn't banned for that, but I have been banned for complaining about their harassment.)
Facts about this case.
1* I am not involved in any flame wars. So why the ban?
2* I am not involved in any revert wars or edit wars. So why the ban?
3* The supposed problems are in articles in which the articles HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESOLVED, long ago! So why the ban?
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. So why the ban?
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. So why the ban?
6* I have asked for and successfully used mediation when necessary. So why the ban?
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. So why the ban?
Folks, this is a clear abuse of the system by a small group of people who hate me. And it won't go unnoticed by the trolls, or Wikipedia haters.
Ed Poor, you mentioned recently that you would be able to un-ban me if this small group blocked me. Your help would be of great assistance now!
