Fred,
Here's the settlement. Roll the page back to the agreed content and lock it and unblock my accounts so I can edit in the cultural areas. Leaving me blocked is grounds for action. Why should I be blocked when it was your admins who violated the laws? Blocking me to avoid claims when you allow others to edit is unlawful. Was I blocked due to my race? Or perhaps due to my religious or culturual beliefs. See where this could go? From my perspective, I was a victim of stalking on this site, and I was blocked for political reasons, not because I did anything wrong. Making claims you can block people for legal threats in the case of this person may become a self fulfilling prophecy.
There's right and wrong, and you are an attorney. You cannot block a public forum for any reason or no reason. It violates the CDA and anti-trust legislation. Think about it.

Wikipedia is NOT a "public forum". It is a website run by a private organisation. You agreed that you would abide by certain terms and conditions; if you have broken those terms and conditions, you have no legal comeback.
