Regardless of some uncertainty among us regarding the specifics we made a finding of fact that you had abused your position as an administrator.
I see. So now I'm Richard Nixon. "Abused your position" isnt a finding of fact - its an opinion, which should be based on facts. If you dont bother to hold specific and nuanced judgement of fact, or come to agreement on those facts, how does the Arbcom come to an agreement based on only a superficial (and unexplained) set of "findings"?
While the incident was relatively minor your subsequent activities show you continue to maintain that you believe you did little wrong and that nothing ought to be done.
No. I agree that I violated 3RR, and that my self-unblocking (which one?) was among the many 'violations of community trust' made by various parties related to the incident (including, ironically enough, the Arbcom). I even agree that my '10 minute' block on Ta bu (to make a point about his reflexive re-blocking of me) was gratuitous. Put the events of one hour in a thimble and it admittedly looks a bit sour. Throw those violations in with my three years of contributions, and the water barely turns a little grey. Throw my violations in with the whole slew of comedic errors made by various other parties, and my water tastes a little hard, but is quite fit to drink. In that context, there is a non-absolutist remedy which is fair and proper.
