Hi Peter, thanks for your email. I cannot stay around here because I am banned indefinitley. I would like to still edit at Wikipedia. But I don't know how to go about it the process that will allow this.
I would like to get a mediation process, a thing I like many people, have never had.
Again, Peter Thanks! Maggie thewolfstar

It's not a conspiracy. Well, not as much as you might imagine, anyway. I'm a regular poster here who has been moderated from time to time (and indeed booted right off the list at least once).
Why don't you suck up your pride, learn how we operate and use the system to your advantage? Sure and it's all a corrupt clique of rouge administrators, but what you need to remember is that Wikipedia is just a website, and that's the way things operate here. Play by our rules and be happy, or go off and complain about it. Either way it makes no difference and we've seen it all before.
But, believe it or not, we'd rather you stayed around as a useful contributor.

Hi Peter, thanks for your email.
Thanks, Maggie!
I didn't send you an email. I made a post to the list. Given that it seems that you are now posting private emails to the list, don't try to recruit me as a supporter.
Quite frankly, it looks to me like you are rapidly running out of any sympathy. If you want to edit WP, I suggest you pull your head in, study up on how the thing works, wait a suitable amount of time, open another account and edit articles in a co-operative, useful and non-controversial fashion. Even if somebody spots you as banned user Bloggs, they aren't likely to make a fuss over your useful contributions.
Unless, of course, you return to making the same sort of edits that saw you kicked off in the first place, in which case swift repetition will hardly came as a surprise.

Never had a mediation process? What a load of nonsense. You had no less than 3 mediators trying to help you: Me, Merecat, and Tijuana Brass. I defended you on AN/I, said that you had potential as a contributing editor if you could see the error of your ways. You've repeatedly shown that you have no interest whatsoever in doing so. And the personally sent troll email you sent to me, yeah that was real nice too. Don't pretend the system hasn't worked for you. You haven't worked for the system.

G'day Maggie,
Hi Peter, thanks for your email. I cannot stay around here because I am banned indefinitley. I would like to still edit at Wikipedia. But I don't know how to go about it the process that will allow this.
The process for rescinding a community ban is as follows: convince an administrator that your original ban was wrong. Since it has been reviewed many times by different, independent administrators and no-one has yet unblocked you, I think it's safe to say we *all* agree you should not be here.
An alternative is to convince us you're very sorry and that you will never again repeat the behaviour that led to your block, but will instead prove yourself to be a valuable member of the Wikipedia editing "team". Your posts to this list have proven exactly the opposite. Many people, including one (Peter Mackay) who was himself banned for a year, have told you that your actions here are just making things much harder for yourself, but you refuse to believe them.
Remember: *you* are the one asking for something from *us*. You have done your best to ensure we have no reason to give it to you.
I would like to get a mediation process, a thing I like many people, have never had.
What benefits would mediation bring, exactly? You were warned repeatedly, and chose to disregard those warnings. The community decided it wasn't worth our while to follow the dispute resolution process. This was perfectly within policy.
