Hi Kauffner,
<br/><br/>
I am very happy to support your reinstatement. I am not familiar with the Vietnamese issue, but I know diacritics are a sensitive topic. Even Jimmy Wales has questioned the use of foreign letters like the German ß, but we operate by a sort of consensus. That said, the consensus is often suspect.
<br/><br/>
In your appeal, in order to raise the chances of its success, I would open briefly by describing your passion for Wikipedia and how you share its aims. I would also suggest toning down or removing any direct criticism of other editors and stressing more how it felt to you. I would reduce the overall length by sticking to what you see as the main points. And I would finish with what you will strive to do on your part to avoid getting into such conflict again. That will reassure the arbitrators.
<br/><br/>
Whilst this may seem slightly unfair, as if you're taking more of the blame than other editors, you are blocked and they are not, so step one is to get you unblocked.
<br/><br/>
I have a lot of sympathy as I was subjected to a similar campaign and accusations over the Central Station v. Hauptbahnhof issue. In the end, I just had to accept the consensus went against me and have given up wasting time trying to get people to see sense. Your friend IIO was very much to the fore in that as well.
<br/><br/>
I have had a go at some wordsmithing along the above lines (see attached) so you can see what I mean, but in the end you need to go with what you're comfortable with. Remember the aim is not so much to justify what you did was right as to persuade ArbCom to let you back on board!
<br/><br/>
God speed,
<br/><br/>
