Request reason:
I have clearly articulated my position in a civil way regarding Mark Dice and why his political positions should be listed. I am no "meatpuppet" and no evidence was ever provided that I was. This is abusive behavior by User:Ian.thomson. I used WP:SELFSOURCE AND WP:RS to back up my points for inclusion. EDIT: Due to fears of liberal bias on this website, being banned by a liberal after libelous material was posted about me by him, I am revoking my appeal. I instead request that I be labeled as retired. Given that my usename has in the past has been used to dox me, I request that my username be changed by a mod to something obscure as to prevent said doxing. I am unable to edit my user page.
Decline reason:
User states they no longer wish to be unblocked. Courtesy Vanishing is only granted to editors in good standing; as you are blocked, you are ineligible for that process. I would further add that Wikipedia is not intended as a reliable source and should not be used as a reference for anything anyway. 331dot (talk) 01:26, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
After reading comments from other people, including admins, and Ian himself. I have come up with a better resolution than storming off. On my part, in order to demonstrate to other admins here that I am not a so-called "meatpuppet" of Mark Dice I will happily do my next 20 edits on other varying articles. I can adjust that number as requested by the admin team (hopefully other than Ian of course). I would also like the opportunity to go into dispute resolution, as I think Ian's behavior has been incredibly abusive on the Mark Dice situation and attempting to bully people off of discussions. If nothing else, I'd like the opportunity to argue my case in front of a neutral crowd. My comments of Wikipedia were made in anger of the situation because of my thoughts. While those thoughts that I was abused remain after rational consideration, I also understand that I cast an incredibly large blanket with my blame on that abuse and I apologize for what I wrote on my talk page and YouTube channel. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
Decline reason:
Declined by an actual admin. A failure to drop the stick or take advice from others is apparent. With "I'm waiting for the resolution of this block from actual admins before I decide anything in terms of reacting to my block or any other options I may have.", I believe that you are still in battle mode and allowing more drama from someone that showed up as a meatpuppet would be a waste of our time. You behaved poorly this week and are still trying to hold onto this instead of disengaging. I was leaning towards a possible topic ban related to Dice and the political arena, and giving you some rope. I would have been willing to discuss this with the blocking admin, Ian and Drmies (another actual admin) who also stated an opinion...but after seeing you refuse to take good advice offered, I don't have faith that unblocking you would be good for the project or anyone else.

This is simply to get the attention of admins.
First of all, in light of the discovery of Wikipedia's political bias, I have changed my stance. I will be making videos on Wikipedia on my YouTube channel based on political bias on this website. My position has changed. https://external-preview.redd.it/EyQakcjzmc1Pv9SsM06IBPDlc1ti9PLc6qh7KyPq5d8.jpg?auto=webp&s=537612c76edf0915d7ede22675901a969f9e9ae7

As declined requests cannot be removed while a block is in effect, I have restored them; further, given your legal threats which are not permitted, I have removed your ability to edit this page. You can pursue your grievances in the courts or on Wikipedia, but not both. Your access to this page will not be restored nor will you be unblocked until you unequivocally withdraw the legal threats or the legal action is resolved. 331dot (talk) 11:31, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
