{{unblock|To whom it may concern. I was blocked for editing the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donny_Long. I do not feel that I violated any policies regarding editing pages (however, I may be wrong, as I am new here). The last edits I added to Mr. Longs’ page were to indicate that he is no longer active in the pornographic business and that he no longer produces in Los Angeles and he also no longer runs a studio in Los Angeles. As proof, I cited Mr. Longs’ own online blog announcing his retirement: http://donnylong.com/blog/my-retirement-announcement-because-of-httpwwwxxxfilmjobscom-and-the-new-email-blast-agents-cant-compete/. I also edited his page to indicate that Mr. Long retired from the pornographic industry in 2009 and furthermore that Mr. Long is well known for his homophobia and his hatred of transgendered people. As proof of this, I cited Mr. Longs’ own online blog entry: http://donnylong.com/blog/hiv-fags-and-tranny-fuckers-doing-straight-scenes-in-this-business/ and I also cited an independent online article that was written about the adult industry that mentioned Mr. Longs’ homophobia and hatred of transgendered people: http://www.razzy.org/RazzyBlog/2009/06/are-you-moron-maybe-you-should-become.html. I believe that every edit I made was 100% factual and backed up by independent and verifiable sources. If I am in error please let me know what I have done incorrectly.}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

My apologies, that was a bad block. I had not done my research carefully enough when I was going through the history of the article this morning, and I should not have performed that block. I hope you will accept my apologies. Please be extra sure that your edits meet the BLP and NPOV policies, as I see you have gotten a few warnings for that. Good luck editing.
