A few months later, Jenks24 stopped editing and Team Harassment set up a trap for me. Someone started blanking articles I'd written. I reverted the blanking and was blocked for "edit warring" by Ponyo, a high ranking admin and oversighter. The accusation makes no sense under the edit warring guideline, which classifies article blanking as a form of "obvious vandalism." The message explaining the block refers to the "diacritics crusade" block from a year earlier. I put it under the heading "more payback."

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. There aren't even any specific accusations against me, much less diffs to support them.

As an ex-Wikipedian, I’m not protected by any policy. In short, losing a fight over an obscure style point means that other editors are now free to post vicious personal attacks and give out my real name. In an Orwellian twist, the past is fair game too. Some oversighter has gone through the discussion archive and edited it. Apparently, I had defended myself too effectively. If you are interested in the play-by-play of what happened to me, check out [[User:PeterKa/Arbcom | my Arbcom appeal]].
