[WikiEN-l] Protesting my ban

[Fred Bauder]

He mentioned it as a point in argument. He did not threaten to invite them.
And in any event, according to established Wikipedia policy they and their
neonazi viewpoints are welcome. He may have technically broken the three
revert rule, but that is to be expected from a new user when they first
enounter determined opposition. His spam linking is not in itself a
violation.

Due to the frustrating nature of dealing with this type of point of view
editor, your frustration is understandable, but you can't properly ban
folks, even of disagreeable views, if they follow Wikipedia rules.

He tried, in a show of good faith, to discuss many of the controverted
points on the talk page of [[white nationalism]] but is not getting much
discussion on the points he raised.

Please note that this user has already threatened to invite posters on a
White nationalist website to "visit" WIkipedia in order to make sure that
the [[White nationalism]] article matches their POV.  And his comment that
he has not reverted an article is untrue.  See the history of [[White
nationalism]].  He has also spam linked the White nationalism article, but
I've used up my three reverts.
