Interesting comment

Hello, I noticed you are a new user and would advise you do not make WP:personal attacks in your arguments as you did here. Abusing other users is blockable behavior if done repeatedly. Note that “blatantly prejudiced” is not meant to be an attack, it refers to the fact that your clear support of Assad means you are not neutral in this debate. Dronebogus (talk) 11:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And you are clearly opposed to President Assad. I made no personal attack. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 12:57, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have no personal opinion. The user box was brought to my attention as a potential policy violation. Stop bringing in irrelevant points like “looting and raping” opposition forces, they don’t prove anything. Dronebogus (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dronebogus: - With respect, Sir,

When you stated in your initial nomination for deletion that President Assad is "known for his authoritarian behavior and poor human rights record", you stated your opinion or interpretation. Others may view him differently. Am I to believe that you have been formed into the perfect non-opinionated observer by the neutral and fact-based reporting of the Western mass media?

I notice the same issue in User:Sundostund's comment: "[President Assad] almost certainly committed genocide against his own people, in a decade-long civil war, and basically function as a Russian-controlled puppet for years now." While these are valid beliefs, that he is entitled to hold and express, they are merely beliefs, interpretations, or statements of opinion. I fail to see how Syria accepting Russian military assistance against international terrorists and Turkish aggression makes it a "Russian-controlled puppet".

And I really have no idea how to respond to you attempting to edit-war my vote off of the deletion discussion because of a "personal attack" which I did not write and certainly did not intend. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t honestly know how I’m not supposed to see “Am I to believe that you have been formed into the perfect non-opinionated observer by the neutral and fact-based reporting of the Western mass media?” as anything but trolling. Dronebogus (talk) 19:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not trolling, perhaps it was over-the-top, but it's an argumentative statement. You have expressed an opinion or belief which is not shared by everyone, especially not all Syrians. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 19:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You could’ve just said that and left it there. Dronebogus (talk) 19:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And you could have left my vote alone, and wrote a comment if you objected to my reasoning. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I explained why I considered your vote disruptive at the MfD Dronebogus (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Leroy Patterson IV (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please explain how I am a 'sockpuppet'. I am not aware of anything I have done wrong and indeed I conceded in the recent BLP discussion that the sources I provided on Mr. Bond (musician) were not up to muster. I have not been provided any justification or explanation for my ban - nor do I think such justification exists - other than that I am a 'sockpuppet'. Please explain the significance of this offense and how I have committed it.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Please explain how I am a 'sockpuppet'. I am not aware of anything I have done wrong and indeed I conceded in the recent BLP discussion that the sources I provided on [[Mr. Bond (musician)]] were not up to muster. I have not been provided any justification or explanation for my ban - nor do I think such justification exists - other than that I am a 'sockpuppet'. Please explain the significance of this offense and how I have committed it. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Please explain how I am a 'sockpuppet'.

Using a sockpuppet account is inherently a blockable offense. Dronebogus (talk) 13:21, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course. But I am not aware that I am a sockpuppet. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
