Blacklisting as Spam, is an unwarranted, inappropriate response - circumventing the rapid delete process as well - and appears to be in response to my observation that this administrator Deb and one other, began following my actions - beyond the rapid-delete
Conflict Resolution that I raised - and which she appeared to take offense to. This is a case of an over-zealous admin, with ( Personal attack removed)?, given too much authority.
If this is the link for Appeal, then I request Appeal and removal from Spam Blacklisting immediately.

I am appealing the blacklisting of paullee.com, which was added to the blacklisted in August 2007. Click here for original addition from 2007
I discovered the domain was blacklisted when I attempted to cite this website when editing the article on Titanic: Honor and Glory (sorry; I was not logged in at the time).
It struck me as odd since Paul Lee is a reasonably well known (though not celebrity-level) Titanic historian. It perhaps wouldn't have struck me as being so odd if the majority of the article didn't use youtube videos from the T:HG developers as sources. I am an 'add' rather than 'delete' kind of editor, so I had to rephrased my contribution to avoid mentioning anything not contained in the source, though referencing the source would have been preferable.
After this, I contacted the owner of the paullee.com domain (Dr. Paul Lee) to query if he knew why his domain was blocked, and he reported that the domain has been blocked since 2007 and he did not know why. After digging through the archives [1] I manged to find the original listing.
The edits presented come from similar IP addresses adding 'external links' to the paullee.com domain. Whilst I consider it highly likely that Paul Lee was the individual addings these links, I will also note they were only added to relevant articles. I believe the links were added in good faith by an over-exuberant new editor who had just discovered Wikipedia (this is 2007, remember!). As proof of this; these same IP addresses also 'own' many good faith edits within the same time period, some examples of which are listed here.
EXAMPLES (All from 2007):
90.206.243.115
In this article, the editor removes a claim about the RMS Carpathia making 17 knots (3 knots above her design speed) when racing to assist the RMS Titanic. The same article today reads: "Rostron ordered the ship's heating and hot water cut off in order to make as much steam as possible available for the engines", with no reference to the 17 knot claim which was deleted. Clearly this is not a dubious edit.
Added "He portrayed Captain Stanley Lord of the SS Californian in the BBC dramatisation Trial by Inquiry: Titanic in 1967", which remains in the article today.
90.204.41.200
Example: Doctor Who theme music
Added "(...the master tapes) were given to a fan at the 1983 Longleat celebrations by Hodgson and were never returned (...) lacking the repeated notes at the beginning of the music"
Today this article reads "The master tapes were given to a fan at the 1983 Longleat celebrations by Hodgson and were never returned. (...) lacking the short bassline stutter at the beginning of the music"
In conclusion, I believe adding paullee.com to the blacklist to be an over-reaction to something that may have just as easily been solved through talk pages and am requesting its removal. Paul Lee has not made any attempt to remove his blacklisting in 13 years so I believe the threat of re-spamming is virtually non-existant.

HubPages is a hosting site for user generated contents where people from the internet can sign up for an account and upload a page. The page gets plastered with click ads that generate revenue that is shared between HubPages and the author, so there's naturally that incentive to slip in links. HubPages.com is currently spam blocked. Appeals have been made over time, but they've been denied and requesters have been advised to request white-list on link specific basis. Now, some of legacy contents on HubPages are spread out to different domains by topic and new contents and new contents are created on different domains of HubPages depending on the subject matter. Quality is all over. Given this fact, perhaps it's appropriate for all of their domains to join the blacklist and have editors request whitelisting on case-by-case basis as with HubPages. You can confirm that this portfolio of URLs are indeed Hubpages by going to HubPages.com manually and looking at the landing page. The niche domains like owlcation.com/editorial-policy says there's some oversight but still not sure if they fact check. The editorial process is unexplained.
One example of axleaddict.com contributor profile that does not pass such criteria in any manner. "S K F1 Enthusiast | Michael Schumacher Fan | Grown to Respect Ayrton Senna | Discovering Past Masters in F1 | Amazed by F1 Cars | Bringing Interesting Duels for My Readers | That's me in short!"
Another example anchor line. This one is on the healthproadvice.com. It's better than the first example, but I still doubt it would pass at the SPS expert level without published recognition as expert. "BRANDON YOUNG Brandon practices as a community pharmacist in MN. He started as a pharmacy tech in 2003 and received his PharmD in 2011 from the U of M."
Some of them don't have anything, but owlcation is particularly heavily used. Some, I have already manually removed.
