passed RfA in June. Due to busy circumstances in my life, I took a wikibreak beginning September 26 (
this edit). I recall checking my watchlist a few times in October, and once in early November, but on November 23, someone else using my account made this
. I was away from Wikipedia until January 23, when I returned and found myself unable to log in to my account. Upon looking at my talk page, I learned that I had been blocked indefinitely due to a compromised account and desysopped.
I do not know how the account became compromised (apparently by
Thekohser, a banned user), but I confess that I was using a relatively weak password, which may be to blame. Otherwise, I am unsure how the account became compromised, but I have not been generally security conscious. In any case, I contacted ArbCom as soon as all of this came to my attention, and they have been deliberating on the situation, but after deliberations, the ArbCom was "not satisfied with the various explanations provided" and declined to return my account. As such, I am here appealing directly to the community with those same explanations.
As evidence that I am Cool3, I present
this entry in the block log clearly showing that this account is a known sockpuppet of User:Cool3. Naturally, this raises the question of whether this account was also compromised. As evidence that it was not, I have made it known to ArbCom that I exchanged emails with JulianColton earlier this year and have emailed him again from the same address recently. I have also exchanged emails with
User:Pharos from a different account as long ago as 2007 and have recently emailed him from that address. I have asked both Julian and Pharos to confirm that fact here.

User:Cool three. It is sad to see that the spirit of AGF has been lost.
