That was based on your repeated insistence that National Socialism was some sort of socialism. You fought like a bulldog for that point. You probably could not have chosen an axe to grind that would have been more disruptive.

Actually your wrong, it's based on my opposition to atheism which caused a gang of POV warriors to spill over from Human to God to fight w me. They then noticed Infinity0's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Socialism/Archive_7#Discussion_of_User:Sam...
on talk socialism. Combined, they started a RfC, which caught the notice of Bishonen, the only person who had the right connections to make an ArbCom case viable. She didn't fulfill the requirements of participating in the RfC (she had never tried to resolve anything with me, and had indeed deleted my attempt to discuss matters w her on her talk page),

but that didn't seem to matter. Due to her anger with me (which has nothing to do with socialism btw, but instead related to a separate personality conflict I had LONG ago w a friend of hers, El C), she rammed through the ArbCom case, despite my having made significant compromises (of which you are aware).
The fact that you accepted the case is sad, but understandable. The fact that you think it has to do with the fact that National Socialism is a form of socialism (which it is by any authoritative definition I have ever heard) is based on your own POV, Mr. Bauder. You've made it clear in the past that my position on this issue annoys you.
The truth is, I have no "axe to grind". Instead, heartened by having received my 1st featured article (Human), I decided to try for another (socialism). In order to do so I sought out a communist friend of mine who also happens to be a wikipedia editor, and tried to figure out the best way to improve Socialism w his assistance. That was going ok until Infinity0 started reverting and belligerently failing comprehend the obvious (NPOV, not pro-socialist POV is ment to dominate). The rest is history.
My question is, what is a better article, my version of Socialism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Socialism&oldid=46504293
or what currently stands:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
my version of the God intro:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=God&oldid=46819733
or the current version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God
And finally, what is abetter version of Human, the featured article version i endorsed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Human&oldid=24562750
or the secular humanist version we find today:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human
Those are the sorts of questions which need answered, not how to best punish the guy who presents facts which annoy others. Our goal needs to be quality articles, not personality politics.
