User:Fvw has blocked me, claiming "vandalism":

00:34, 27 Jan 2005, Fvw blocked Jakew (expires 12:34, 27 Jan 2005) (contribs) 
(user page vandalism)

This is inappropriate, and is not supported by Wikipedia policy. It is clearly 
not vandalism as defined by Wikipedia. Please would someone unblock me?

I originally responded to allegations against me on User:DanP's user page. I 
wrote:
"Yes, each will doubtless follow similar accusations by yourself. Childish? 
Yes. Irresponsible? Yes. Can you find anything after November 2004? I doubt 
it. I can change. Can you? - Jakew 00:03, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)"

In response to a message left on my user talk page 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jakew)...

I left the following messages on Fvw's user talk page:
Very well. I'm sure you'll agree that directing users to DanP's talk page is 
not objectionable. - Jakew 00:26, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I then moved my comments to the user talk page, replacing it with: "Please see 
your talk page. - Jakew 00:23, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)"

There are rules against replacing user pages with profanities or insults. Mere 
editing and advising readers to read the talk page is perfectly acceptable. I 
suggest that you read up on the matter. - Jakew 00:31, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
