The prior discussions are self-evident and I don't find it necessary to explain the concerns any further. It is self-evident and insulting to our collective intelligence if you want act like it's unclear what the various ANI discussions are referring to. If you want to continue to argue (even about the topic ban itself), it may be raised to a block and an extended topic ban.

  • Enforcing administrator filed to "elicit the opinions of other administrators at AE" "prior to placing sanctions that are likely to be controversial" as advised by WP:ACDS#7.3.
