Interesting comment

[edit]

Hello, I noticed you are a new user and would advise you do not make WP:personal attacks in your arguments as you did here. Abusing other users is blockable behavior if done repeatedly. Note that “blatantly prejudiced” is not meant to be an attack, it refers to the fact that your clear support of Assad means you are not neutral in this debate.

And you are clearly opposed to President Assad. I made no personal attack. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 12:57, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have no personal opinion. The user box was brought to my attention as a potential policy violation. Stop bringing in irrelevant points like “looting and raping” opposition forces, they don’t prove anything. Dronebogus (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dronebogus: - With respect, Sir,
When you stated in your initial nomination for deletion that President Assad is "known for his authoritarian behavior and poor human rights record", you stated your opinion or interpretation. Others may view him differently. Am I to believe that you have been formed into the perfect non-opinionated observer by the neutral and fact-based reporting of the Western mass media?
I notice the same issue in User:Sundostund's comment: "[President Assad] almost certainly committed genocide against his own people, in a decade-long civil war, and basically function as a Russian-controlled puppet for years now." While these are valid beliefs, that he is entitled to hold and express, they are merely beliefs, interpretations, or statements of opinion. I fail to see how Syria accepting Russian military assistance against international terrorists and Turkish aggression makes it a "Russian-controlled puppet".
And I really have no idea how to respond to you attempting to edit-war my vote off of the deletion discussion because of a "personal attack" which I did not write and certainly did not intend. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t honestly know how I’m not supposed to see “Am I to believe that you have been formed into the perfect non-opinionated observer by the neutral and fact-based reporting of the Western mass media?” as anything but trolling. Dronebogus (talk) 19:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not trolling, perhaps it was over-the-top, but it's an argumentative statement. You have expressed an opinion or belief which is not shared by everyone, especially not all Syrians. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 19:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You could’ve just said that and left it there. Dronebogus (talk) 19:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And you could have left my vote alone, and wrote a comment if you objected to my reasoning. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I explained why I considered your vote disruptive at the MfD Dronebogus (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Please explain how I am a 'sockpuppet'. I am not aware of anything I have done wrong and indeed I conceded in the recent BLP discussion that the sources I provided on Mr. Bond (musician) were not up to muster. I have not been provided any justification or explanation for my ban - nor do I think such justification exists - other than that I am a 'sockpuppet'. Please explain the significance of this offense and how I have committed it.

Decline reason:

This is pretty obviously a good block. TPA and E-Mail revoked so that we don't get the usual timewasting. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:57, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


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.

Yes, of course. But I am not aware that I am a sockpuppet. With respect, Sir, I think you all have jumped the gun. Leroy Patterson IV (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is rather futile at this point but I’ll point out you literally have “bean eater” on your page, not to mention many identical userboxes to that user. If you are not a sockpuppet this is an astonishing coincidence. Dronebogus (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
