::::::: Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear in some of my comments.  The first part of my message was not as an administrator, but just to try and clarify the issues.  I didn't mean to suggest that you hadn't addressed the validity of his claims.  It was meant simply to point out that some may be misunderstanding the point of your comments.  And I'm not saying that the questions you are raising are not legitimate questions to raise.

::::::: It's not true to say that you "have not had an opportunity to contribute elsewhere on the site".  You've had opportunity every time you've edited.
 +
::::::: We do allow copying of your own work.  There is a template available to note that it is your own work.  And of course it can be edited by others, as is the case with all articles.
 +
::::::: If you stop making arguments, your critics will stop disagreeing with you.  Yes, it will likely mean that they will get the last word, and that might be unfortunate, but that's not going to be reason to ignore the so-called 90/10 rule.
 +
::::::: I'm not suggesting that you are the only one in the wrong here.  Uncivil language happens a fair bit.  But that's peripheral to the issue I'm discussing here.
 +
::::::: I've unblocked you, because it wasn't fair for you to be blocked for 90/10 when I'd given you a warning and permission to make one or two more posts, but you used one on responding to me, so that gives you one left to respond to your critics.  And fair warning:  I've referred to the 90/10 rule as the "so-called" 90/10 rule, because it's not a rule against precisely 90% talk vs. 10% contributions, but a rule against "unproductive activity", with 90/10 being an ''example'' of that.  So simply making the odd article edit or posting the odd copied article will not necessarily avoid that rule.  It's something that we administrators make a judgement on, and others will make it more readily that I will.
