Really? You blocked me "preventatively" for a civil comment that ended with "This conversation is over". At worst, I was guilty of straying off topic, and I recognized it, so I ended the conversation; I even [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Doughney&diff=prev&oldid=271055286 apologized] to Mike for straying after he pointedly placed a "not a forum" template. After I did, the entire block was [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Saddleback_Church&diff=next&oldid=271054766 locked down] by another admin, ending the off-topic discussion. Note that [[User:Kevin]] detected no incivility, even though he's warned me for incivility before. Why? Because nothing I said was anything but civil. There was no problem here, no fire to put out. It was all handled, until you dragged it up as an excuse. |
|||
As for the second link, speaking the truth is not automatically uncivil, even when the truth is unpleasant. No rules broken; just an excuse for you to block me. |
|||
Somehow, I suspect that neither of these are relevant to why you blocked me. It seems more likely that I was blocked shortly after [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mike_Doughney&diff=prev&oldid=271059937 this] observation about your penchant for excessive and apparently biased blocks. In short, you got angry at me first, then hunted through my contributions for an excuse to block me. The hint here is that, unlike a case of genuine incivility, where a reasonable admin would explain what the problem is and request a retraction, you jumped in for the kill. |
|||
Guess I was right about you: you do target your political opponents and try to run them off Wikipedia. I'm going to put up an unblock request, and I will continue to do so until someone locks down my page. It really doesn't matter if I get unblocked -- I have a life outside Wikipedia. What matters is that I've made my point about your actions. Thank you for proving that point for me! [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

:Oh, and for the record, your [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:CarverM&diff=prev&oldid=271063821 empty warning] not only failed to add verisimilitude to your block, but was abusive. Carver said some silly stuff, but in no way was it vandalism. But, hey, falsely accusing him of vandalism is easy after you've falsely accused me of incivility.

::Note than any perceived lack of action on my part is certainly not because I detected no incivility, I was just busy. [[User:Kevin|Kevin]] ([[User talk:Kevin|talk]]) 06:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

{{unblock reviewed|1=No incivility to block for. Moreover, there is an alternate explanation for the block: he took personal offense.|decline=The diffs provided in the blocking notice, as well as some others in your recent contribution history, are inappropriately aggressive, use ad hominem arguments and draw disparaging conclusions as to the character of debating opponents from their debating position. Since any one of these three factors would be grounds for a short block, I am of the opinion that this current block is valid and am declining the unblock request.

I formally request that record of this incident be placed at [[WP:ANI]] so that other admins can see what Stevo did. [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

==FfD to delete Time cover image== |
|||
As you were briefly involved in some of the recent discussion and debate about the images in the article on [[Intelligent design]], I thought you might like to know a separate proceeding was brought to remove the Time image by outright deletion from the wiki . It's at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_February_12#Time_evolution_wars.jpg . |
|||
If you are at all interested in the outcome, it would be reasonable to post a "keep" or a "delete" at that page. ... [[User:Kenosis|Kenosis]] ([[User talk:Kenosis|talk]]) 06:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

:Thanks, I would like to do so, but I'm dealing with an abusive block from a partisan admin now, so I can't. I'm sorry. [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Maybe it'll help to try to have a bit more patience in the future. [[WP:3RR]] tends to be taken fairly seriously. [[WP:BRD]] is generally a preferred practice. Good luck. ... [[User:Kenosis|Kenosis]] ([[User talk:Kenosis|talk]]) 06:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

== Further information regarding your block == |
|||
Spotfixer - what you think of me presents no concern whatsoever. I wonder how you can justify your response to CarverM ''[that his use of the words], "long term psychological effects of abortion" is [his] little way of attempting to ''guilt'' women into having unwanted children,'' and then on his talk page that he ''skulks in the shadows'' is an appropriate way to address your colleagues at this project - particularly when you have been patiently been told, and have been blocked for similar behaviour? Please note also that if you continue as you did last time to abuse the unblock process I will prevent you from editing your own talk page. Please now sit back and await another administrator's review of my block. Thank you.--[[User:VirtualSteve|<strong>VS</strong>]] <sup>[[User_talk:VirtualSteve|talk]]</sup> 06:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

:Please, I am not going to lend your abusive actions any credibility by pretending that the block didn't come right after my ''remark about you''. [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::As you like Spotfixer. Thank you.--[[User:VirtualSteve|<strong>VS</strong>]] <sup>[[User_talk:VirtualSteve|talk]]</sup> 06:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

:::Show me I'm wrong. Put this up on [[WP:ANI]] instead of skulking in the shadows and stabbing me in the back. Take this into the light of a public forum. I dare you. [[User:Spotfixer|Spotfixer]] ([[User talk:Spotfixer#top|talk]]) 06:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |

::::This page is a public forum as soon as you put up your unblock request. However as per the previous times you have been blocked by myself and others you have chosen to [[WP:SOAP|soapbox]] this situation. As detailed I have locked down your page due to abuse of the unblock process. When you are unblocked or the block expires you have an absolute right to take this matter to ANI yourself. Until then please consider my question at the start of this thread, and ask yourself did VirtualSteve force me to make these comments towards my fellow editor. If not then you are responsible for your own actions. Oh and I will also add that until you pointed out the diff above which related to your view on my block of you and Mike I hadn't even seen your comment - but I will add that if you care to check the logs of my blocking editors you will see that I have blocked editors from both the right and the left - especially in relation to the Rick Warren and Saddleback Church articles. --[[User:VirtualSteve|<strong>VS</strong>]] <sup>[[User_talk:VirtualSteve|talk]]</sup> 06:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC) |
