== Foxtrot and the Axiom of Choice ==
Foxtrot blocked two users (AndyJM for five years, BRichtigen for three days) and threatened to block me over a content dispute in [[Axiom of Choice]] (which I'll just call AC).
Brief summary:
*AndyJM removed a claim about the AC being equivalent of another claim involving certain subsets of the real line and made a post on the talk page explaining his reasoning.
*Foxtrot reverted both posts and banned AndyJM.
*BRichtigen then went to Foxtrot's talk page to point out that AndyJM was apparently correct.
*[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Foxtrot&oldid=571141#AndyJM Full conversation] - permalink because Foxtrot deleted the entire conversation with his next edit, calling it "senseless talk".
*BRichtigen was blocked for not dropping the issue.
*I looked up the issue myself and found a source that shows that the claim (AC equivalent to the subset issue) is wrong. I then reverted Foxtrots reverts.
*Foxtrot handwaves the issue away, saying that he "reinserted valuable information that was lost by an editor intent to misrepresent the Axiom". Apparently, removing wrong information about the AC misrepresents it. Somehow.
*When I confronted Foxtrot about the blocks and how he inserted wrong information (and wrongly asserted on his talk page that the claim is true), I got an implied block warning ("If you persist in misrepresnting my actions in this matter, you may find yourself as the third Musketeer.").
The last point is what drove me here. I need a few more eyes on this issue because I think it classifies as abuse. Foxtrot blocked users over a content dispute and then threatens anybody who questions his behavior. --[[User:AlanS|AlanS]] 19:24, 27 November 2008 (EST)
