G'day Raphael,
even though I haven't touched the J-P Muhammad cartoons since my last block one month ago, I have now again been blocked for a week for criticizing administrators, who unjustifiably blocked editors for "Censorship" resp. "removing Muhammad images" and literally called editors vandals, who merely removed an insult on their religious belief.
I am not a Muslim myself, but discrimination bothers me wherever I see it. Therefore I created a page in my userspace, where I documented cases, in which editors apparently only have been blocked, because of the strong "free speech" convictions of some administrators: [[User:Raphael1/Persecution of Muslims]]
You were not being a legitimate critic. You were building a hit list.
I wouldn't call it a hit list. It was more like a list of (virtual) victims of the J-P cartoon controversy article.
It was a list of blocks performed by administrators just doing their jobs. The list included not merely your "victims", but also the names of the administrators who you thought had abused their powers. That is a hit list.
This is inappropriate.
Why?
You honestly do not understand why a hit list is an inappropriate use of your userspace privileges? You do not know why it is frowned upon to maintain a list of users you dislike?
Whew. Well, it's incivil, disruptive, and a series of personal attacks. All of these things are considered Bad by the community as a whole, and I'm not at all sure how you managed to miss that fact.
And why isn't it inappropriate for administrators to block editors to "keep Wikipedia from my brand of censorship" (IIRC I haven't removed the cartoons since I created my account, instead I've moved them behind a link) and enforce their brand of censorship instead?
You're implying, it seems, a quotation. Who said they were "keep[ing] Wikipedia from [your] brand of censorship"?
By the way, you might have noticed that many of us, when we snip others' text, include a little note about it, like so: <snip/>. This is so that other readers will know that we aren't replying to the other fellow verbatim, when we aren't.
