Changes

After I was blocked, an ANI discussion could be held without my participation. There is of course a rule against this tactic. To keep bringing up the same complaint again and again is called "forum shopping." In fact, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive252#Ban_proposal:_Kauffner the discussion which resulted in my being banned] consists almost entirely of references to previous discussions; It's almost a parody of forum shopping. In these previous discussions, it was decided not to sanction me in any way. By the time of the banning discussion, various editors had put in a great deal of effort into to campaign against me. They wanted validation for the earlier harassment. The discussion was more about them than it was about me. They didn't even bother to make specific allegations against me, much less present diffs.

Later, I noticed that several of the posts I made these earlier discussions were "oversighted" -- disappeared from the point of view of the ordinary user. Ponyo is an oversighter, so perhaps it is her doing. Apparently, I had defended myself too effectively for these posts to be left in the archive. If you are interested in the play-by-play of what happened to me, check out [[User:PeterKa/Arbcom | my Arbcom appeal]]. My total, permanent ban might suggest that I'm the worst of the worst. But it reflects the fact that Team Harassment was unsuccessful in getting lesser sanctions.

My total, permanent ban might suggest that I'm the worst of the worst. But it came about precisely because Team Harassment was unsuccessful in getting lesser sanctions. It got what it wanted by overriding the due process protections experienced editors normally receive.
