Good for you I guess.

Everything I ever added was kept, and I was permanently banned. I created [ciation needed], started the admins noticeboard, reworked the USA Patriot Act article, wrote numerous articles for WiR with extensive referencing, contributed to peer review and good article reviews, and a shitload more, but nope. Not good enough.

Why anyone would contribute to that cesspool is anyone’s guess.

This comment is a little light on the reasoning for why you were permabanned.

Someone did the research-digging a while back about this, if you want a third-party view: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45136376

Indeed. The person who responded made the following points:

* BHG then made a thuggish and threatening post on your user page:

* BHG later characterised this like "oh but he was trolling me and I merely asked him one time on his talk page to stop (which is allowed)", which is bollocks because the "one time" is a long, angry screed written in a menacing tone.

And yet, no action was taken against her. I wonder why that was? And yet I was the one who was indefinitely banned. There was clear bias, and Wikipedia lost a good contributor. One I would say did far more than she ever did (she dealt with categories and dead links, and one article relating to Ireland).

Incidentally, if you want to know what the poster missed... it was that it was a one-way interaction ban. BHG was never, not even once, admonished for the way she treated me. In fact, her supporters actively encouraged her to attack me. When she attacked me, I was unable to defend myself or respond. Does that sound like procedural fairness to you?

Funnily enough, she did this to one too many people and was banned. I was banned by her supporters, not by ArbCom. It's what is known as a kangaroo court.

But hey, fairness and impartiality on Wikipedia was something that was lost a long time ago. Wikipedia is continuing to slide into obscurity. The ones who are active are most interested in drama, and not content. I feel sorry for those who are there for the content.

I commented on BrownHairedGirl’s RFA. The most toxic user ever on Wikipedia.

I can assure you, there are those on Wikipedia who committed far worse offenses and they remain.

Like I say - a cesspool that doesn’t respect article writers.

Ah, I see, you were instigating constantly and people were sick of your shit. Seems like a reasonable ban, especially when you violated an IBAN already.

[chris_wot]

How was I instigating constantly, Chris? Can you provide any evidence of that? Perhaps an ArbCom investigation?

You can't, because that never happened.

But hey, keep defending BrownHairedGirl. You seem to be fine with her constant abuse!

Were you Chris.sherlock/Aussie Article Writer on Wikipedia? Sounds like pot calling the kettle black re: toxic. You had an interaction ban against her FFS.

And why was that interaction ban enacted? It was immenseley unfair. It was pathetic in fact, given it was a one-way ban, and she had consistently denigrated me. Unless you think that's justice.

So no, not the pot calling the kettle black in any way. She had her coiterie of followers, and she was banned as a bully. They enabled her.
