User:Fvw has blocked me, claiming "vandalism":

This is inappropriate, and is not supported by Wikipedia policy. It is clearly not vandalism as defined by Wikipedia. Please would someone unblock me?
I originally responded to allegations against me on User:DanP's user page. I wrote: "Yes, each will doubtless follow similar accusations by yourself. Childish? Yes. Irresponsible? Yes. Can you find anything after November 2004? I doubt it. I can change. Can you? - Jakew 00:03, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)"
In response to a message left on my user talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jakew)...
I left the following messages on Fvw's user talk page: Very well. I'm sure you'll agree that directing users to DanP's talk page is not objectionable. - Jakew 00:26, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I then moved my comments to the user talk page, replacing it with: "Please see your talk page. - Jakew 00:23, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)"
There are rules against replacing user pages with profanities or insults. Mere editing and advising readers to read the talk page is perfectly acceptable. I suggest that you read up on the matter. - Jakew 00:31, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Jakew.
This is very disappointing. Given Fvw's previous involvement with circumcision related issues one would have thought that he would have ensured that he kept a distance from active sysop intervention against those of a different POV. One can only hope that this was a one off "slip-up" and that in future so as to keep himself beyond reproach he will refrain in such acts which may be interpreted as an abuse of sysop position.
