:So, you wander over to WR, talk shit, promote shit, encourage others to spread shit, come back from WR, without admitting that your view of NPOV might've been shity and might've caused a shitload of nonsense, and then, you beg to be allowed back to spread more shit? No shit, really. Nah. ]<sup>]</sup> 23:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC) |

==Background== |
|
|
|
|
|
For the benefit of those who are directing their attention to my case for the first time, let me provide a little background and perspective... |
|
|
|
|
|
An ] against me was brought by ], in the wake of content disputes on five or six of their articles — notably the biographies of ], ], and ], and the articles on ] and ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
I had been editing barely a week or two in their bailiwick, before ] formally , which he and ] had . |
|
|
|
|
|
The ] was dominated by members of the ], who acted as Plaintiff, Arresting Officer, Prosecutor, Bailiff, Judge, Jury, and Executioner. ConfuciusOrnis even on my behalf, and signed my bottom line endorsement to it, taking selected portions of unsigned . I thought that was a tad irregular and ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
On September 11th, ], who is also a member of the ], ], bypassing the ] process. She gave as , "Disruptive POV OR warrior with no interest in writing an encyclopedia. See Rfc.", overlooking the {fact} that I had ] for a four-volume print encyclopedia. |
|
|
|
|
|
] then placed a , giving a different reason ("]") with the link going to ]. If you look at the ], you will discover that the word "vandalism" never appears. Thus both posted reasons for the indefinite block made no sense to me as they were at odds with the facts on the ground and with the content of the charges on the RfC. |
|
|
|
|
|
In view of these confusing perplexities, I managed to submit a to ArbCom, asking them to review troubling aspects of my case. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note carefully that ''I did not ask to be unblocked''. For all I knew, I ''deserved'' to be blocked for ''some valid reason'', in accordance with some comprehensible review of my alleged transgressions. And so I only asked ArbCom to opine on whether I had been afforded ''diligent due process'' in the course of the RfC. |

====Moulton's Reqest to ArbCom==== |
|
|
|
|
|
I am asking ArbCom to review whether responsible admins participating in my RfC and its aftermath afforded me diligent and conscientious due process, '''without regard to the whether the final outcome would have been justified by a fair exercise of due process'''. |
|
|
|
|
|
... |
|
|
|
|
|
I am asking ArbCom to investigate and determine whether the allied editors and admins participating in my RfC and its aftermath engaged in a familiar Kafkaesque formulaic script routinely applied to a substantial number of cases similar to this one, without regard for conscientious and due diligence in the exercise of due process. |
|
|
|
|
|
... |
|
|
|
|
|
I am asking ArbCom to look beyond the details of any single case for a recurring pattern of unfair and draconian treatment that bespeaks an unbecoming trend in the disregard of reasonable standards for the exercise of due process. |

ArbCom declined to take up the question. |
