Rob, I have courtesy blanked some stuff, but you also contributed to the problem by registering a sockpuppet and using it for purposes other than asking for the restrictions to be lifted, with the result the ban was reset.

I'm not without sympathy, but I don't see that you've made a strong case for the changes you want either.

Let's no get sidetracked, Guy, the sock was done with permissionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:AMA_Requests_for_Assistance/Requests/November_2006/Nobs02&diff=91030719&oldid=91001338. This whole problem started when Complainant came to this list and sought to circumvent WP proscribed dispute resolution, with "I freely confess I have a vested interest in this matterhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-November/032066.html ". He got sympathy from the ArbCom Chairman. Trouble is, the Category they tried to delete then still exists two years later, and without my help or intervention.

And yourself, Guy, not to be critical, but you told editor Pravknight a few months later, "people with a vested interesthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pravknight#Paul_Weyrichin the content of an article should not edit it" and he got a Community ban. My case is simple, a twelve your old can understand the facts. I was libeled by exercising Good Faith in Dispute Resolution. ArbCom has had three opportunities to remedy the mistakes, the Trustee's two, and Jimbo two. Serious questions are arising now about all of WP's internal self-regulation.
