Hi,
I know nothing about this event, but I believe one of the important
facets of 3RR is that it applies equally to good faith editors as bad
faith ones, as it's hard to know the difference. Naturally you believe
you were working for the good of the page, but clearly someone
disagreed. Regardless of who was right, edit wars are so destructive
and potentially hurtful that the rule was adopted to nip them in the
bud.
In any case, presumably the block will be lifted tomorrow.

I've been blocked from editing articles due to
violation of 3RR.
On that end, I'm actually working with a member of "LJ Drama" (the
article I kept altering - I was actually deleting heresay but nobody
seemed to care about that) to post a more truthful version of events.
It seems pretty ridiculous that I can't even edit my own user page.
I petition for the block to be lifted. As I'm working with one of the
people in 'LJ Drama', I have no reason to modify the post. I'll leave
that up to him.
Thank you,
Nathan Richards (nathanr)
