== Blocked for [[WP:3RR]] ==

You have been blocked for twenty-four hours in response of a [[WP:3RR|three-revert rule]] violation on the article [[Homosexuality]]. If you have any questions, please reply on this talk page, or [[Special:Emailuser/Bratsche|email me]]. Please refrain from edit warring when you return.

:This block is flatly in error, and I am almost certain it reflects a prior animosity (about an unrelated issue) by administrator [[User:Bratsche]]. A look at the edit history of [[Homosexuality]] will '''plainly''' show that I have not reverted four times on the same issue (nor on any issue, during ''any'' 24 hour period). I ''have'', however, made more than four edits on a variety of different sections and wordings. This isn't even close to a 3RR violation!

:In fact, ''I'' reported [[User:66.216.226.34]] for 3RR violation around a phrase about the APA/DSM in that article. A number of users other than me reverted this anon editor on the same issue (I did so a couple times, but not four). Moreover, as soon as someone else first restored the prior version from the anon editors POV change, I requested on the anon's talk page, in the edit comments, and at [[Talk:Homosexuality]] that the editor take the suggested change to the talk page. S/he refused, until after I reported the 3RR; when the anon finally brought it to the talk page, the clear consensus of editors was that the new language was not appropriate. Several users tried to address a core element of the anon editors proposed change, and I ''did'' help tweak that... but not by reversion in '''any''' case, only by moving forward.

Moreover... looking around Bratsche's user page, another editor questioned the block; and looking there, Bratshe's general animosity towards me is readily apparent. I really think this matter reaches admin abuse, but really I just want to get the annoying block removed (I wouldn't be so petty as to report it to mediation if it is not repeated).

Yours, David (Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters)...
