Will you please answer?

My questions from my unblock request were valid, no? Will you please answer them? 75.162.211.81 (talk) 05:45, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Your behaviour since your block expired has been in violation of WP:BATTLEGROUND and false accusations of vandalism (e.g. [1], [2]), therefore I feel my decision not to unblock you at the time was justified. Optimist on the run (talk) 07:54, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

How was my Kesha edition supposedly a "false accusation of vandalism," according to you? And that was actually one of my questions: supposed "false accusations of vandalism." Why is it "okay" for them to falsely accuse me of vandalism, then? What about my other "them vs. me" questions that you haven't yet answered? 75.162.211.81 (talk) 10:39, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I didn't answer your questions, as I was reviewing your unblock request, which is not the place to air your grievances. As you chose to concentrate on that, rather than reflecting on your behaviour, I gave you the standard {{decline reason here}} response. (I see you added further questions in the middle of my response, but that is not the best place to make them obvious). As for the false accusations of vandalism, I have given you an example above. If you have any criticism about the actions of any administrator (including myself) I suggest you raise it civilly at WP:AN, though I would strongly recommend you to concentrating on improving Wikipedia instead.

Then you're not very good at understanding what people are saying, "optimist." Because:

1. I did reflect on my behavio[u]r and state that I would make a better effort like the appeal guide says to do. Did you not notice my FIRST sentence there?

2. I wasn't using that as a place to "air [my] grievances." In addition to fulfilling the standard appeal format as given by the guide, I was using those questions as a way of showing why the blocking was wrong and should've been undone, but then to also have my questions answered. So why won't you answer the rest of them?

You showed me what you thought was a "false accusation" of vandalism, but you did not explain why you thought that was such. What is your logic on that, especially as compared to the false accusation of vandalism that escape orbit and frowny face were giving me?
