User:Fvw has blocked me, claiming "vandalism":
00:34, 27 Jan 2005, Fvw blocked Jakew (expires 12:34, 27 Jan 2005) (contribs) (user page 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.
A block against me expired at 12:34 today. It is now 15:07, and I find myself unable to edit. The reason I am given is: "Autoblocked because you share an IP address with "Jakew". Reason "user page vandalism"."
Of course I share an IP address with myself! Could someone rectify this problem please?
On the block list, I see we have: 11:34, 27 Jan 2005, Fvw blocked #15196 (expires 11:34, 28 Jan 2005) (Autoblocked because you share an IP address with "Jakew". Reason "user page vandalism".)"

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.
