[[User:William M. Connolley]] complaint

On January 29, User:William M. Connolley entered a "revert war" at [[Middle East Media Research Institute]], protecting the article five minutes after [[User:Isarig]] had reverted the article. Prior to Isarig's revert, the article had been quiet for 3 hours 22 minutes. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute&action=history]

I found the timing of the revert-then-protect suspicious, and I asked Connolley to explain how it occurred. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AWilliam_M._Connolley&diff=104184995&oldid=104184078]
Rather than explaining his actions, Connolley responded, "If I hadn't protected it you'd now find yourself with a 24h block, so be grateful." [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:William_M._Connolley&diff=next&oldid=104184995]
(The block threat may have been made in relation to a mistaken accusation by Isarig that I had violated the "3RR" rule: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:Beelzebarn_reported_by_Isarig_15:49.2C_29_January_2007_.28UTC.29.28Result:_protected.29])

Following this uncivil and threatening reply, I informed Connolley that I would be looking into how I could report him for abuse, and after being told of the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] route, I informed him that I would begin preparing a complaint against him, but that I'd prefer that he just answer my original question.

Prior Protections by Connolley:

January 25: Protected [[Baibars]] article 9 minutes after revert by [[user:Khoikhoi]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Baibars&diff=prev&oldid=103205965]

January 15: Protected [[Toad (Nintendo)]] immediately after reverting it himself (this seems to have been done in response to a nonsensical editor)

January 4: Protected [[Execution of Saddam Hussein]] article 3 minutes after revert by [[user:UBeR]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Execution_of_Saddam_Hussein&diff=98516893&oldid=98516282]
(Connolley apparently made some edits to the article while it was "protected" [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Execution_of_Saddam_Hussein&diff=next&oldid=98516893] and was told by [[user:Halo]] that "using page protection to keep the page supporting your opinion on a matter is /extremely bad form/."[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:William_M._Connolley&diff=prev&oldid=98602235]

December 18: Asked to protect [[Afghanistan]] article on talk page, but declined. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:William_M._Connolley&diff=prev&oldid=95072746]

December 13: Protected [[Sveasoft]] almost an hour after revert by [[user:24.218.180.170]]
