"more obvious" policy disputes?

how can the POVPUSH be any more obvious?

I have already gone through an RfC/U, multiple DRNs and RSNs, and an extensive AN/I discussion about consistent NOTFORUM.

I will not drop it. If you need to block me for this reason, I am fine with that. -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ] # _ 07:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

It looks like your Arbcom case is picking up steam, so good luck with that. Sorry for the late response, busy weekend. Btw, I'm not an admin and cannot block you, I was merely pointing out the fact that making yourself a nuisance on ANI will lead to a block. Sædon^talk 20:41, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Scientology. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Please refer to this AE thread for an explanation of this block and warning.  Sandstein  17:31, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
