Final (Still looking for a First) Appeal Fwd: UTRS appeal response

[newwxrl...@your-mail.com]

To whom it may concern,

Arbitration,

I submitted the below appeal at about 2:20 pm (local) today and verified it a little after 3:00 (local). As you can see, it was declined by 4:08 and closed by 4:10.

For the record, I had submitted an earlier appeal, but all I got was a "403 you are forbidden to do that code," when I tried to check on it, and a little later a "page expired" code. I understand that was a problem on my end now, but, either way, ...

No one is going to invest the time for a real review, I get. Everyone is going to play the game of appearances, I get. It's tragic: I get.

I need to be able to say "at least I tried." If I have done nothing more than convict the world of sin, at least I will be able to rest in "at least I tried."

I was “indeffed” last week. I made one controversial but well-founded contribution to a page: universe. A long time user took it upon himself to warn me on my talk page, and in the talk section which I had created pursuant to the “dispute” tag requirements. His actions violated the presumption of good-faith, which was warranted, and the don’t bite the newb policies of wikipedia, along with the rule that dispute tags should not be removed until the dispute is settled. There may be more, but again, I don’t know Wikipedia like that.

If the dispute were readily settled against my favor, it could have been done by attacking the substance rather than the person. Rather than handling the substance, or waiting for editors who could, a number (of long time) editors who have reduced blocking to routine, hung the block on me. If they had not broken the rules, I would have had no (appropriate) frustration to express (on behalf of more than my small self). The block is based on lies, misrepresentations, and atrocious mischaracterizations. The decisions were made very fast, by biased reviewers. If there were a fair judge, like a bot programmed with the rules, I’ve no doubt that it would not only find me deserving of restoration, but would find they positively misbehaved in their doings. But we know man and power.

My controversial contribution is scientifically justifiable. I provided a very sound source. The one previously and currently hanging closest to the dispute is a mere glossary description from an introductory textbook. Two of the other supposed 10 are mere dictionary definitions, and the third is an encyclopedia entry. There is still no scientifically rigorous source for the disputed word: universe.

Follow the math (even from Wikipedia) and you will see what goes in to the attempt to stitch together “the universe.” Thermodynamics cannot conceive “the universe.” The hope that thermodynamics will (be modified to) do the science people like the author of reference 26 (cite ref 27) hope it will do is doomed. There can be no causal relations in 3D. Thermodynamics is a science of equilibrium, where there is no tendency for change.

I never planned to escalate any tit-for-tat. I guess that, in that sense, I really never was here – qua [WP:nothere]. But I was blocked before I could demonstrate that. Time will prove that there is no universe. The mean-time deserves a disputed tag.

I was indeffed for one controversial but well-founded edit (and the two follow up talks). In the blink of an eye. Before I could even wake up and see what “tomorrow” brought. My own talk privileges were removed that tomorrow, for responding civilly but substantively to continued engagement! My substance is beyond challenge, but unwelcome. Fools are given far more leash.

In a just world I would be restored in full, post-haste, with an apology and a “thank you for your service.” I didn’t think the situation had deteriorated so far as a no-strike/no-tolerance policy. If I am unblocked I will aim to avoid another block. I imagine I will try to find at least on more substantive contribution I can make somewhere (else) on the site, but, unless my unblock comes with some sort of encouragement that I should not be too afraid to edit anything, I may hang it up (for a good while) after that. Please let me prove it.

I should be restored, in full, post haste. But short of that, I ask my talk page privilege to be restored (in the meantime). I may not have another appeal in me. Morality, =x=, is a real dynamic. Morality comes with its own consequences. Choose wisely.

"If, in reality, courage and a heart devoted to the good of mankind are the constituents of human felicity, the kindness which is done infers a happiness in the person from whom it proceeds, not in him on whom it is bestowed; and the greatest good which men possessed of fortitude and generosity can procure to their fellow creatures is a participation of this happy character.”
