Request Unblock
Here is a copy of the e-mail I sent last night to User:El C
- Block ID: 522743
- IP address: 71.33.208.250
- Blocking admin: El C
- Block reason: Abusing multiple accounts: no comment
- Your account name (if you have one): Pfagerburg
- An explanation of why your block is unfair:
Jeff's response to my comments only proved the point; anyone who disagrees with him is automatically a disruptive troll.
The reason given by the Admin, "Multiple Accounts," links to a page on Sockpuppetry. I am not a sockpuppet of anyone, and did not see any requests for Checkuser to establish sockpuppetry.
I post from my DSL connection at home, which rotates IP addresses from time to time, so perhaps this is part of the cause for confusion. I always edit under my user name, and only from this one account that I have, so the label of "sockpuppet" is inappropriate.
Did you read the edits that Jeff scrubbed from his user page? Please point out the problems, as I thought that, given the circumstances, it was quite polite and well thought-out. I *would* like to see him contribute to the Cherokee articles. I *would not* like to see him trashing the pages of various people and groups he does not like, particularly, in the case of Eric Schmidt, when his "inside information" crosses the line into outright libel.
Please do explain; I'm willing to have a dialogue with you over this issue, and find a way that we can resolve the problem. If mediation or arbitration is required/requested, whether by you or by Mr. Merkey, I'm willing to enter those processes as well.
The entry on Jeff's talk page which is the apparent reason for my blocking is:
]
I'd also like to point out that Jeff's revert comment in the history includes the statement "This account was warned already" which is, to the best of my knowledge, untrue. How and when was I warned?
