NOTICE TO ADMINS AND ARBITRATORS: In future if you want to add me to an Arbitration case, please take a moment to leave a message on my talk page so that I know about it.


Some people just want to spoil it for everyone else. They are succeeding.
It is not merely unfair but also nasty and sneaky to continue to comment in a talk page discussion where the editor whose talk page it is can not respond.

If you think that calling a Black person who writes about historic racial injustice a "race-baiter" is no more than "ordinary incivility" then you are not fit to be an admin.
