A sort list of diffs to explain the origins. Notice point six.
Moreschi's indef and a ban proposal against me: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=221464547
I put Christopher Smart on the Freemason list per it being attested in over 10 works on Christopher Smart. It was reverted across multiple pages because MSJapan and Blueboar did not believe he was a Freemason. They claimed there would be records. After contacting the Masonic library in London and sending an email, it was revealed that many of the records at the time were lost. I also put forth a French Masonic Research Institute that did a big thing on Christopher Smart and his Masonic information. This was not enough to satisfy them, and they declared I was being "tendentious" for trying to label Smart as a Free Mason and to keep a section about Masonic images in Smart's poetry on his biography page (it was later restored there by DGG).
Bishonen takes a content dispute and begins a section calling for me to be "restrained". Many point this out. When consensus goes against her, Moreschi indefs me for "tendentious editing". Geogre and his sock puppet Utgard Loki make many attacks on me. When I apologize, it is attacked by them as being fake.
My next block comes 31 July 2008 by Nandesuka. Many people know that following this block, I was forced to 1. troll on commons and disrupt to draw attention away from people asking Nandesuka to be desysopped for deleting a picture and causing controversy at ANI and 2. join him and Geogre in a very long disruption campaign against Haiduc. Two of the pages were the George Gordon Byron biography and the Nicolo Giraud page. You can check the histories of both and see the dispute. You can also check various other pages (such as History of Greek Pederasty) and their talk pages for more information. This is why I was not blocked during this time. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20081014233422&limit=500&target=Nandesuka You can see a list here.
Why was I blocked by him?
Ncmvocalist (notice him a bit?) kept closing a WQA and archiving it while there was no procedure to do so and no WQA clerk. Notice Risker posting at 05:57, 31 July 2008. JzG posted shortly after.
Next big event? http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Ludovico_Ariosto
I began working on the biography. I put forth the term "Christian epic", as it was used by multiple scholars to differentiate epics of Classical nature (Greek and Roman heros) and those involving Christian heros (St Peter appears, Jesus appears, etc). This was deemed to be a "Romantic epic" instead. I pointed out that the term would be ambiguous, as "Romantic epic" is used to denote the Romantic poets and their epics, and that "Romance Epic" was used by many critics.
Notice Folantin, Akhilleus, Moreschi, and Dbachmann.

You can see them also there. There debate lasted against me until I invoked Geogre and posted there. The thing was, it was calling in my trolling for him to get them to back off. Notice how I didn't get blocked?
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Geogre&oldid=262776596#A_request Ths what was said: "Yeah, I've got to agree with Ottava, here. I know it's niggling, but it is important to distinguish the romance epic from the Romantic epic."
That stopped them flat. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship/Itsmejudith I lead consensus against Itsmejudith to push the final bit against her based on her close relationship with Moreschi and her actions at the WQA about Ludovico Ariosto. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Ottava_Rima You can see Folantin's actions there (check the history too), with edit warring, complaining, etc. I didn't realize Antandrus was a close friend with Folantin when I made this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Antandrus/Archive31#An_Answer
You can see where it went. But still, no blocks or anything against me. However, this summer it was revealed to me that I should look back and reanalyze Geogre and Loki's edits. Upon seeing it, I found a point where Geogre overwrote Loki's signature. I compiled a lot of evidence, took it to Coren, and he put forth the desysop motions.
I publically asked that Geogre was not to be banned. However, since all of ArbCom was informed who the offender is, one of the Arbs (cough) told what I did. I went from being someone they would leave alone and occassionally drop a small bit of support to protect in political fights back to the pariah I was.
Shortly after: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=18th_century&offset=20090822111219&action=history
Openly changes a name and attacks me in edit summaries. This was a page I built most of it and I have a background in the 18th century. Her change was revealed to be a series of edit wars originally reverted by Wizardman on the Persian Empire page. http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Persian_Empire You can see how Folantin, Dbachmann, and Akhilleus appear again. Gwen Gale, one of Bishonen's friends and someone who I called out when she inappropriately blocked Malleus, blocked me. This was quickly overturned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Oscar_Wilde#Maynard
Someone tried to make changes to what was a very minor view and post it beyond its weight.
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_44#Source_in_Oscar_Wilde
You can see who shows up. Paul B (in many of the above links), Itsmejudith, and Akhilleus. You can see many of the people who supported their view also appearing in recent debates.
The next thing happened is that Lara was desysopped for aiding a sock puppet who had an admin account. I put up an RfC on Bishonen about the same basic concept in reference to Geogre. It was deleted by Moreschi, and one of Bishonen's friends Sjakkalle blocked me for it being disruptive. I was unblocked and it was restored.
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Bishonen_4
This debate was formed and involved a lot of attacks. Accusations of me "hating" Bishonen and that was why I put up the RfC were made. I asked them to strike their claims. They refused. I tried to start a WQA to have it dealt with as it was upsetting. Notice who closes that AfD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts/archive73#Inappropriate_claims_at_MfD
Sarek also closed my thread at WQA. They edit warred it closed. When I complained that the one editor was on restriction by Arbcom not to make -any- disruptive edits, JohnVandenburg told me that I shouldn't complain about the guy because he put up something for me at Wikisource. I was highly offended. I have a reputation of defending people I have had fights with and for not supporting those who are my friends. I do not conform to any group or vote based on any political lines.
