Battleground Mentality / Personal Attacks / Refusing to Drop The Stick

The edit count is for Kumioko (Reguyla) on en.wiki. On commons Reguyla shows, from the global edit display, 450,000 contributions. As for the block reason, Reguyla did not know, or did not choose, to walk away from battles he could not win, and probably believes that he won by speaking truth to power. It's a common opinion that is, more often than not, a delusion. But it has a commendable aspect. Nevertheless he refused to shut up when it was quite clearly causing more harm than good, unless being blocked was the good he wanted to create. It would go like this. User agrees to not attack administrators. "Thanks for unblocking me. I don't agree with the block but I agree to follow it and will not attack administrators like those who blocked me unfairly."
3. Abdul Lomax
It is Abd or Abd ul-Rahman. "Abdul" means "servant of the". It is not a name, but because so many Muslim names begin with it, non-Arabic speakers think it is a first name.

Most of my work was on Wikiversity. I was an administrator there for quite some time, practically ran the place, so I had sysop experience. And I continued to work on organization, mostly successful, even when I was not an administrator. That's a long story.
Articles created
5 stubs, one of which was so crappy it was deleted
Actually, the page that was created was related to a discussion going on at the time, WP:PRX. The deletion was largely political. The page was recreated, and some of the same material was used.
The AfD. Notability was marginal, that was the problem, not the article itself. One can write a great article on a subject with as-yet inadequate notability. The claim that delegable proxy is the same as "proxy" was ignorant. Most proxies are not delegable and the concept of delegability could be revolutionary. There were a few sources that appeared, some later.
Liquid democracy is
I was not into creating articles, but supported those who did; the best article creators were not uncommonly under attack. It was not uncommon that I would rescue a deleted article, having it userfied into my space, where it could be worked on, and then the article would be moved back. Those don't show up as my creations. When I did this, it sometimes attracted the ire of those who had pushed for deletion. Good example might be
Lyrikline.org.. Deleted by the antispam warriers, long story.
On Wikiversity the stats display says I created almost 2800 pages. Hundreds of pages were deleted by the bureaucrat who blocked me, completely violating Wikiversity traditions, in order to fulfill the threat by Darryl L. Smith that he would get "all my work deleted." It's a great example of how someone can accomplish what might seem impossible. Wikiversity rarely deleted stuff. And that's a story that is in court at this point.
(I had already decided that WMF wikis were inherently unsage and had stopped investing work there, a year or two earlier.)
Reason for block
Long Term Abuse / Long Term disruption [over 7 years] at Wikiversity / Personal Attacks
SanFranBanned
Yes
Showing what private complaints, even if deceptive, can do. 7 years was my entire history on Wikiversity, and for much of that time I was running the wiki. There were no personal attacks, there was documentation of an LTA, and, by that time, not even on Wikiversity, it was on meta, and I was not blocked there, the study was considered legitimate.
Wiki, too often, short for "batshit crazy."
