It may be best to simply drop the above thread which is unproductive at best. Its aim was to explain your block in wiki-terms, and that has been done. Whether you agree or not, it looks likely that it will end up as status quo at this point until a way to productively move forward is found - which is much more important than "winning" a debate.

On that matter, please see WP:ANI#Possible mentorship/supervision proposal. I have no "stance" on this so you are welcomed to accept, decline, or discuss by email as you prefer.

I read it, and while I appreciate your effort and I know your intentions are in the right place, it seems like a solution to put me a virtual ghetto to control me like a child or rabid animal. And it's cool. I thought the community might appreciate me trying to go legit, offering some full disclosure and editing in my name, without any socks, and accepting the mentorship of Avi, Spartaz and Off2riorob, but instead, I will quietly just go away. I didn't come here, in my name and representing my organization, to be attacked, harassed, controlled, and humiliated. But again, thanks. I'd rather be editing anonymously, and underground, than deal with this, and it seems WP would rather that, too. --I mean, to keep me off articles related to the things I know most about? Absurd. --DavidAppletree (talk) 01:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will not stand in the way of you being unblocked, should you reach an agreement with FT2.--Scott Mac 00:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've already stood in my way with this account. Good luck, next time. Of course, I know why you really blocked me. I guess you didn't like it when Avi called you out on it either. Hope you don't mind me discussing it, off wiki, and with Jimbo, here. Hey, I would have brought it up on your talk page, but ya blocked me, so...what can I do? --DavidAppletree (talk) 01:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
