[edit] Blocked

I have blocked you indefinitely. You have shown over the past god knows how many weeks that you clearly can't work with other people and respect their opinions, which is one of the basic principles of Wikipedia. – Steel 10:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

That blocking is a blatant misuse of power and an attempt to gain an upper hand in a content dispute. "Blocking to gain an advantage in a content dispute is strictly prohibited. Admins must not block editors with whom they are currently engaged in a content dispute." Please read Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Effects_of_being_blocked otherwise you may find your admin privileges withdrawn. Davesmith33 11:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Dave, Steel359 was not editing any of the articles you were editing, therefore he's not in a content dispute with you. Please don't try to quote policy you clearly don't understand, and please don't make threats against other editors. Gwernol 11:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

This was taken to arbitration and rejected. I then appealed and that process is ongoing. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration&diff=prev&oldid=121732683#Davesmith33 Davesmith33 15:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Dave, you've stated on an number of occasions (and ina number of places) that an appeal is ongoing - but there seems little evidence of this. To be honest, I thought the WP:ArbCom was like the House of Lords and you can't appeal against their decisions, other than to Jimbo Wales who acts like the The Queen, with 'reserve consitutional powers as Head of State'. If you think an Admin has abused their powers in this matter, then I believe the appropriate place to raise it is WP:ANI. However, quite frankly, I really don't think you'll get anywhere with an appeal. DrFrench 15:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Dave, I don't know what this "appeal" is that you refer to, but the arbitration request was rejected and removed on April 10. Since then you have not made any edits to the WP:RFAR page nor have you made any other edits requesting an appeal. There is no appeal process other than filing another Request for Arbitration, and given the previous unanimous rejection that would be highly unlikely to succeed. Whatever you think you have done, you have not filed anything that could be remotely considered an appeal. Please stop claiming there is an ongoing appeal, there isn't one.

Nonsense, we'll discover the truth when it all comes out in the wash. Davesmith33 17:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, then please show me where you have appealed the closed request for arbitration. Which page did you edit that started the appeal? I ask, because as someone involved in the original arbitration request I should be notified of any appeal and be able to express my opinion there. If there is an appeal, you can be unblocked to contribute just to the appeal itself. Gwernol 17:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
