I don't imagine the current AC (I cannot speak for past committees, though I fully expect they would say the same) will penalise you for other people causing conflict with you.
But you did. I didn't asked to be stalked, and I was even clear about what provoked it so I can't even be blamed for being the victim of vandalism.
Sorry for any lack of context. I don't know enough to comment retrospectively. I am considering the future. The past is past.
I believe Geni made some apt comments on this mailing list about how it
feels to be constantly blocked.
If people abuse the AC decision to block you spuriously, I expect the AC will have some very clear things to say on the matter.
But you didn't. I specifically asked you to review such a block, and no comment was made on it by any arbitrator (well, except Fred Bauder in his mailing list post, but he was recused).
Sorry, I've lost you. Which block was this?
me on those points. But not a peep has been uttered about what I raised.
Visit not the sins of the father on the son. I was myself not a member of that committee, and do not consider myself responsible for the decisions, whether they were right or wrong.
I'm not saying you are personally responsible, but as you now are part of the AC you can take institutional responsibility, like governments do. Or if that's too much, add a "finding of fact" that the past ruling was in error.
I don't think that would really help anything. I will acknowlegde, though, my belief that errors were made. I don't know to what extent, but errors were made.
Well there was already quite a lot of evidence my contributions history. Maybe the third time would be the charm, but why after two crash-and-burns should I be hopeful?
The reason that we have been fairly slow in relaxing most of the restrictions is that you have hardly been contributing, so we don't know how necessary things are. I wish you luck in showing the community your good intentions, and earning trust.
Anyway, I feel like you're asking me to make a bunch of uncontroversial (frivolous?) edits (what did I say, on bunnies and flowers). Anyone can do that and it proves nothing, so yes it seems you're just telling me off for another length of time.
No-one is asking you to make uncontroversial edits. We are only asking you not to cause conflict, which is something everyone should be doing all the time. I will take into account any harassment you get.
