Hey Brad/Bad(?). No idea if you ever knew or not, but I was following your case in some detail over at Wikipediocracy. In their wisdom, I am now no longer able to participate there, but I thought I'd be remiss in not letting you know the thread exists. If you've not read it, it probably makes interesting reading, if only for your own amusement. Even though people here were both reading and taking an active part in posting, I'm not aware of any of them telling you they were. In retrospect, I guess I should have told you myself, so that's ultimately on me. The specific thread is in the member's only area (in the portion of the site they restrict from Google) and is clearly marked as Malik etc. I wouldn't advise you signing up as Brad, or indeed taking any active part on the site, it's just not worth it. But to read the thread, you have to become a member. It's bizarre, as in your case it gave certain Wikipedians who were gunning for you more leverage, and the ability to make themselves look better in the process of royally shafting you, without actually even participating in the forum (even though it could be deduced by others that their unfettered presence there, as named members, could be seen as an endorsement of their use of the site in that way). Oddly, as a group, the Wikipediocrats seemed to have no problem with that at all (I raised that in another thread as a specific issue, but was quickly shot down). So that decision is definitely on them. Let me know if you ever need any advice in future, assuming of course you see anything in the thread you deem useful. Who knows, you might think I was harming your case, and if so, I apologise! I'm curious as to why, after all that, you thanked Dennis, but hey, absolutely don't answer that if you don't want to - I'll understand, believe me.

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Amin al-Husseini. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DavidLeighEllis ( talk) 18:57, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

Request reason:
I don't believe I have personally attacked any editor (and note the concurring opinion of an administrator on this matter here:
[2]) , but will strike out or remove any offensive comment if unblocked (a courtesy not extended to me by people using vicious antisemitic slurs against me (
[3]).
I noted that Nishidani takes a different view of consensual Man-boy sexual relations as evidenced by the fact that he repeatedly referred to these actions (which are a criminal offense in most countries) as "victimless", and going as far as putting the word "victim" , used by multiple reliable sources without quotes, in scare quotes in our article and then delivering a passionate defense of why such scare quotes are needed (
[4]). He has also cited favorably the notion of
Sotadic zone - the hypothesis that there exists a geographic zone in which pederasty is prevalent and celebrated among the indigenous inhabitants. This is common in
NAMBLA literature, and I don't believe should be part of an encyclopedia, other than in an article about
NAMBLA, of course. However, I will strike out those comments if editors believe they crossed the line.

Decline reason:
Repeating the personal attack that caused you to be blocked in your unblock request is a guarantee that your request will not be granted. Saying you will strike comments upon request while continuing to repeat those comments is not a means of making amends or ensuring that you will not repeat this behavior. Liz Read!

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Further use of your talk page to repeat the personal attacks you were blocked for, or other disruptive behaviour, will result in the loss of your talk page access. If this happens you may appeal through WP:UTRS. HighInBC 01:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
There is no such thing as consensual sex with a 15 year old
repeating the claim that at 15 you can have consensual sex with an adult is ludicrous.
Bad Dryer ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I regret having made the personal comments about another editor. I easily could have made (and should have made) my point regarding the use of sources without the gratuitous reference to nambla, and without implying Nishidani supports it.
I recognize that implying such support is a personal attack, and will strike out those comments and not repeat similar statements in the future.
Decline reason:
This is the same sort of promise you made after your last indefinite block. I have every confidence that you will stir up another shit storm if you are unblocked. There may be an administrator foolish enough to unblock you, but it will not be me. Declined. HighInBC 17:45, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

I have now served more than 6 months of this block, and have had time to rethink my approach to editing Wikiepdia. I repeat and renew my apology, as in the previous unblock request, as well as the offer to strike out the offending remarks. If unblocked, I will also undertake a voluntary topic-ban from the Ezra Nawi article (and others , if the unblocking administrator sees fit), and an interaction ban with Nishdani. I do want to return to editing in a constructive manner.

Request reason:
I don't believe I have personally attacked any editor (and note the concurring opinion of an administrator on this matter here:
[2]) , but will strike out or remove any offensive comment if unblocked (a courtesy not extended to me by people using vicious antisemitic slurs against me (
[3]).
I noted that Nishidani takes a different view of consensual Man-boy sexual relations as evidenced by the fact that he repeatedly referred to these actions (which are a criminal offense in most countries) as "victimless", and going as far as putting the word "victim" , used by multiple reliable sources without quotes, in scare quotes in our article and then delivering a passionate defense of why such scare quotes are needed (
[4]). He has also cited favorably the notion of
Sotadic zone - the hypothesis that there exists a geographic zone in which pederasty is prevalent and celebrated among the indigenous inhabitants. This is common in
NAMBLA literature, and I don't believe should be part of an encyclopedia, other than in an article about
NAMBLA, of course. However, I will strike out those comments if editors believe they crossed the line.

Decline reason:
Repeating the personal attack that caused you to be blocked in your unblock request is a guarantee that your request will not be granted. Saying you will strike comments upon request while continuing to repeat those comments is not a means of making amends or ensuring that you will not repeat this behavior. Liz Read!

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Further use of your talk page to repeat the personal attacks you were blocked for, or other disruptive behaviour, will result in the loss of your talk page access. If this happens you may appeal through WP:UTRS. HighInBC 01:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
There is no such thing as consensual sex with a 15 year old
repeating the claim that at 15 you can have consensual sex with an adult is ludicrous.

Request reason:
I regret having made the personal comments about another editor. I easily could have made (and should have made) my point regarding the use of sources without the gratuitous reference to nambla, and without implying Nishidani supports it.
I recognize that implying such support is a personal attack, and will strike out those comments and not repeat similar statements in the future.
Decline reason:
This is the same sort of promise you made after your last indefinite block. I have every confidence that you will stir up another shit storm if you are unblocked. There may be an administrator foolish enough to unblock you, but it will not be me. Declined. HighInBC 17:45, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have now served more than 6 months of this block, and have had time to rethink my approach to editing Wikiepdia. I repeat and renew my apology, as in the previous unblock request, as well as the offer to strike out the offending remarks. If unblocked, I will also undertake a voluntary topic-ban from the Ezra Nawi article (and others , if the unblocking administrator sees fit), and an interaction ban with Nishdani. I do want to return to editing in a constructive manner.
Decline reason:
Declining on behalf of the discussion on WP:AN, not on my own behalf. Discussion on WP:AN closed with a "Clear consensus in opposition to unblocking". Yamla ( talk) 13:48, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I can't post such a request at AN, as I am blocked. If either of you are willing to point something there, point back to this page, I would appreciate it. Bad Dryer ( talk) 15:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
