If you are interested in the specific issues that led to my ban, you can read about them in [[User:PeterKa/Arbcom | my Arbcom appeal]]. But I will present some larger lessons I learned here. In a series of cases I am familiar with, Wikipedia has resolved persistent conflict between liberal and conservative editors by banning conservatives. Judging from my case, this policy may apply even when the conflict is largely a result of the liberal editor being malicious and unreasonable, and the conservative editor is a top contributor. I was banned over an article I wrote about [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Han-Nom&oldid=563875554 Sino-Vietnamese characters]. So retreating to a noncontroversial and apolitical topic didn't work.

"Consensus" is supposed to be Wikipedia's basic organizing principle. So the banning of someone with any significant amount of editing experience is normally done only after public discussion at ANI or Arbcom. It is unlikely that so many high-ranking admins would take an interest in my activities at the same time on their own initiative. Somehow, the process was short circuited. Perhaps a Star Chamber worked out a strategy off Wikipedia. There is a clique of feminazi admins who have been granted extraordinary powers to resolve Wikipedia's supposed "woman problem," including User:Ponyo. Several comments I made in my own defense were oversighted, so I wasn't even allowed to explain myself.

It is unlikely that so many high-ranking admins would take an interest in my activities at the same time on their own initiative. After all, I had been editing for years.
