Both at this stage and throughout the dispute resolution process, talking to other parties is not simply a formality to be satisfied before moving on to the next forum. Failure to pursue discussion in good faith shows that you are trying to escalate the dispute instead of resolving it."

You broke the above REPEATEDLY and should be PUNISHED by being banned and having admin status removed.
Well if he does, it's very hard to find (so perhaps a source is in order). Also, your statements of evading a block are POV. All in all, the only intelligent and logical thing to do was exactly what I have done.

Given there is no easily visible way of contacting him through email, I will put up another unblock request. If you delete it or decline it without any attempt at discussion, this will show that you are just interested in power. Prove me wrong.

They can reach other editors per e-mail, accessible through the mail link on the user page. I recommend that you calm down and use your block time to read [[WP:NPA]], [[WP:AGF]], [[WP:CIVIL]].

That doesn't address what I said, which is that there is no easily visible means of contact. If I am wrong provide me with a link to it. I suggest every single one of you involved in this read the statements about improving pages instead of reverting whenever possible, being nice to people, assuming good faith and trying to resolve a dispute before issuing warnings/blockings as you all have paid no attention to them at all.

Thank you Sandstein for proving my point about power mad admins who treat people like kids instead of engaging in discussion and reading what non-admins have to say. I have repeatedly asked that, if I am wrong about there being easily visible contact information on Jersey Devil's userpage, I be given a link to it. Not too much to ask for is it?

FYI Pigsonthewing, Jersey Devil and anyone else:

"Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it.

The first resort in resolving almost any conflict is to discuss the issue on a talk page.

Take the other person's perspective into account and try to reach a compromise. Assume that the other person is acting in good faith unless you have clear evidence to the contrary.

Both at this stage and throughout the dispute resolution process, talking to other parties is not simply a formality to be satisfied before moving on to the next forum. Failure to pursue discussion in good faith shows that you are trying to escalate the dispute instead of resolving it."

You broke the above REPEATEDLY and should be PUNISHED by being banned and having admin status removed.
