I have a simple two to three step process for refactoring comments that seem to anyone to be uncivil:

Once you provide at least information relating to the first two steps, I will usually immediately refactor. The third step is optional.

This user is block free - (see my block log here!).

Back in one year

I will be leaving for one year. This will be enforced by a self-blocking mechanism through a wikibreak enforcer.

I am quite disappointed that it had to come to this, but since I know that my enemies will game any edit I make to be somehow related to "fringe science" especially considering my normal modes of activity it's not worth the hassle of editing under this absurd and vindictive arbcom enforcement.

When I come back on January 15, 2012, I will be sanction free and return to editing with impunity.

If I happen to see egregious errors in the meantime, I'll be fixing them through anonymous, untraceable, unblocked proxies. They will not be traceable to this account, but I encourage those who dislike me to scour the edit histories carefully to look for my calling card.

I ask my talkpage watchers to remove the gloating by my enemies.

Peace,

Unblock to add enforcer

ජපස (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I want to add the wikibreak enforcer to vector.js Alternatively, could I ask an admin either unblock me, or just add this to vector.js:

Decline reason:

Done. Closedmouth (talk) 07:52, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Result of your appeal

As the closing administrator at Arbitration Enforcement, I hereby notify you of the following result of your recent request:

The appeal by JPS (formerly known as ScienceApologist) is unsuccessful. The one year topic ban stands as enacted.

If you wish to further appeal this decision, you may contact the Arbitration Committee. The Wordsmith 07:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Blocked indefinitely

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

I have mulled this over for the past several days, trying to convince myself that there's some better alternative, but I could think of none.

You have declared your intent to edit "through anonymous, untraceable, unblocked proxies" to fix what you perceive to be "egregious errors", presumably in articles that are within the scope of your topic ban, namely, pseudoscience and fringe science. Doing so not only directly violates your topic ban imposed by Sandstein, but also directly violates the restriction placed on you by FT2 (talk · contribs) in December 2008 and an arbitration remedy from 2007.

Nor is this your first time doing this. Abusive sockpuppetry is what led to the one-account restriction in the Martinphi-ScienceApologist case in the first place. Editing while logged out - exactly the same thing you have declared your intent to do here - is what caused FT2 to impose that restriction on you.

In 2009, dealing with a similar situation after the closure of the fringe science case, arbitrator Coren said,

Almost two years later, I'm frankly very dismayed to see you still resorting to essentially the same tactics that got you banned two years ago.

Enough is enough. I'm blocking this account indefinitely, the first year of which block is made under the authority of WP:ARBPS#Discretionary sanctions and subject to the normal restrictions on reversal noted in the template above; furthermore, under the same authority, I'm extending your topic ban indefinitely. This block will be lifted, and the topic ban reset to its original expiration date, when and if you provide credible reassurances that you will not engage in tactics designed to circumvent, evade, or game your topic ban.
