Which should tell you something. When multiple editors end up
reverting you about 8 times, you should probably stop trying to
re-insert the information and instead discuss it on the talk page,
seeking consensus.

Um, actually the former is really what is an issue here. It was not
one person who kept removing it, but many. The issue here IS your
attempt to insert something which only you seemed to support, and as
such it is up to you to seek consensus to add it, not the other way
around.

There is plenty of precedent for banning people who continue to
attempt to insert POV into articles against the will of other editors.
The time to debate the content-aspect of the issue was before you keep
re-inserting it. At this point, as a behavior issue, it is pretty
clear to me that you were in the wrong.
