It's my opinion that you've had your fair share of "fair hearings". I consider your posting history (as ForeverSearching (talk · contribs), ESCStudent774441 (talk · contribs), 68.236.154.131 (talk · contribs), RogueKnight774441 (talk · contribs), & 74.76.203.209 (talk · contribs)) to be largely melodramatic, disingenuous, and unconstructive. Wasn't this a "final appeal" on your behalf? Haven't you "retired" over & over? You even wrote today, in your slew of talk page postings that you are (yet again) "resign[ing] from Wikipedia"[1] and your "[r]esignation [is] now in effect]"[2]. So which is it? Are you actually resigning? (Never mind the obvious fact that claims of "retirement" in the wake of repeated blocks is entirely fatuous. I see no reason for a "fresh start"--and certainly nothing done to earn such a consideration.)

The only reason I haven't yet blocked is that you actually withdrew all the legal bull you previously spread around. That you repeatedly moved accounts & IPs to evade several fully-justified blocks doesn't win you any points. (I note that this account was created on the same day as RogueKnight774441 and this message.)

Here's my offer, assuming you're not really retiring:

• You disclose, here or at User talk:ForeverSearching, any other accounts you've created to circumvent your prior ban.
• I'll unblock your home IP and leave a note on User:ForeverSearching that it is an alternate acount of ESCStudent774441 with an administrator's "last chance" approval. You will, in good-faith, edit only with the ForeverSearching account (accidental IP logouts, of course, are OK).
• You'll actually be a productive editor, improving articles (try this one, it needs help) and following the rules, and steer clear of off-topic talkpage banter. Wikipedia is not a social networking site, and definitely not a free speech forum.
• If you are disruptive in any way, particularly if you offer up any further legal threats (read Wikipedia:No legal threats and Wikipedia:Free speech, really), I will block all associated accounts and IP addresses, very possibly resulting in one of these.

I consider this offer is more than fair. If you're not willing to do this, I'm not willing to help you any further. And I won't stand in the way of anyone's potential futher adminstrative actions regarding this account. — Scientizzle 20:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I got your reply. I'll get to my part very soon.

As for the link above, click on it again for another suggestion (it's simply a sneaky link to Special:Random). — Scientizzle 21:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

68.236.154.131 (talk · contribs) should be unblocked (let me know if you've any further issues editing from home. I blocked the JusticeWithReason (talk · contribs) account, as there's no reason to keep it around. Check out your user page--feel free to make it look nicer. Contact me via my talk page for anything revelvant. — Scientizzle 21:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move on, please

No more of this, okay. Work on articles, don't continue to waste time with pointless chatter. — Scientizzle 15:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

Thank you for wasting everyone's time. Since you failed to live up to your end of the bargain (see bullet point three above: You'll actually be a productive editor, improving articles...and steer clear of off-topic talkpage banter), I'm blocking this account and associated IP addresses. — Scientizzle 15:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fine by me, Scientizzle

I won't be posting any appeal, as I know I would not be successful in getting unblocked. And I don't know the template for posting an appeal now. I didn't break the agreement sir, you did, you alone are to blame. I asked for time to step away until my classes were concluded whereupon I could return to active editing. But you having acted unjustly and I might add rudely, I confirm myself in my decision to resign from the project and join a rival project. You hurt me for the last time. To Mr. Jimbo Wales, no ill will is meant for you, in fact, God Bless you. I wish you and the honorable administrators of this project well and I pray for your continued success in this time of economic torture. I'll find my way, somewhere.

I want nothing to do with you, Metros, Lars or whoever else has a beef with me. So now time to move on, to the worthy project Citizendium. ForeverSearching (talk) 05:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You do realize that people don't resign off Wikipedia and, therefore, no one "accepts" your resignations, right? You appear to have this belief that we're being rude to you by not saying "yeah, sure, you can resign, we accept your resignation" to give you a break out of editing for a bit. There is no human resources office on Wikipedia; it's a purely volunteer project so there is no need to submit letters or notices of resignation to anyone. Instead, you just walk away if you so choose. Hopefully that clears up what appears to be a misconception of yours. Metros (talk) 21:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

You seemed to want me off Wikipedia anyway, you and Scientizzle don't want me to edit so to heck with you and him. I didn't break the deal, you and him did. You and him are solely to blame for forcing me out. Farewell. ForeverSearching (talk) 01:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The deal was that you would act constructively to the encyclopedia. Since Scientizzle allowed you the second chance, all you did was post farewells, resignations, and other talk, but no article production. I, nor Scientizzle, broke the "deal." Metros (talk) 02:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
