Request reason:
I still hold that this unblock is not justified. I feel my block is a result of the opinions of people, not because of policy. Just because I offend someone doesn't mean I can be blocked. Misplaced Pages policy clearly states that this is an abuse of power for every single person supporting, endorsing, or involved in my ban. As I am dissatisfied with ArbCom's decision, I wish to appeal this block directly to Misplaced Pages founder Jimbo Wales. He is an expert on Misplaced Pages policy and is the appropriate person to review the block when every other method was exhausted and disputed. I wouldn't waste Jimbo's time if I didn't think I was being treated unfairly, however, it is clear that liberal bias from administrators is what caused this ban to result. I am extremely disappointed with the blatant racism against white, male Conservatives on Misplaced Pages. I was doomed from the start, just because of the person who I am, which is something I cannot change. I hold that my conduct here is justified, and I believe Jimbo Wales should be called upon to directly review this block. Then, and only then, will I feel that this block truly conforms to Misplaced Pages standards and policy. Even Henrik noted that I was greatly improving. This ban was obviously result of my userbox which did, indeed, conform to Misplaced Pages standards. Had the userbox never been brought up, and had I never been attacked and provoked by Baseball Bugs (who inadvertently called me a "white supremacist" ), I never would have made the inflammatory remarks that ultimately led to an indef block (which is highly inappropriate, since I am not vandalizing in any way. I obviously made an attempt to contribute to the encyclopedia). I was never given a chance by the editors of Misplaced Pages. They automatically shunned me (along with many other conservative users -- these types of blocks have been monitored very closely over the last few months, and I have seen what is going on). They cast me out and did not give me a chance. Now, probably, after all of this effort and explanation, no doubt an admin will come by and deny it without even reviewing it, with some snarky comment. Of course, doing so would only show their insecurity, and would ultimately show that they are scared that I am right.

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.
- Note: As your request has been thoroughly reviewed, further unblock requests, especially repeating the same reasoning, will merely waste admin time. I've protected this talk page from further edits, because three reviews of your request is sufficient. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:58, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was entrapped into making the comments I have made. My userbox (which conformed to Misplaced Pages policy) was proposed for deletion, and should not have been. The entire conversation should have never occurred, as Orangemike was the one to suggest that I re-add my userbox to my page. Orangemike is indeed an administrator. If an admin suggests putting something on my page that was against Misplaced Pages policy, then that same administrator should have corrected the mistake. If you look at my edit history, I originally removed the userbox as "polemic", until Orangemike suggested other. I put my trust in a Misplaced Pages administrator, and it gets me indef banned. Interesting. That seems fair. It's complete entrapment. I get attacked mercilessly, and when I try to defend myself from untrue and unwarranted comments (such as those accusing me of white supremacy, which was neither implied or expressed. Please review the skinhead article and try to tell me that it doesn't state numerous times that racists are a lot of the time non-racist ones. I never put "I hate blacks" or "I'm a racist skinhead" on my userpage, did I? No, I did not. None other than Orangemike, the one who originally deterred me from removing the userbox (which caused the discussion at ANI), should be the one to review this block and see if it is merited. Henrik should also review this block and tell me if I have done anything "disruptive". -Axmann8 (Talk) 03:30, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Decline reason:
There was pretty much a consensus to block you, indefinitely. Putting that aside, your conduct here has been extremely inappropriate. We're building an encyclopedia, and you were not. You're now blocked indefinitely and I don't see that block being overturned. If you post the same or other frivolous unblock requests again this page will be protected.

You seem to have a long history of using Misplaced Pages to push your own personal political point of view. This is not what Misplaced Pages is for. This block is not about a single incident, but a pattern of disruptive behavior. Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:01, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

- You aren't blocked because of the userbox. Grsz 03:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
I want to repeat that very clearly. You were not blocked because of the userbox, Ax; that would have been an injustice (and a display of appalling ignorance on the part of the blocking admin). You were blocked because you voluntarily agreed to abstain from political edits, and then you broke your word, more than once, with a snide citation of WP:IAR as your only "excuse" for doing so. That is what got you blocked. Don't pretend otherwise. I have gone to a great deal of effort to be as fair as possible to somebody who clearly is of a different ideology than I am, and who I suspect may be worse than that; but even we Quakers have our limits. This community gave you multiple chances, and you blew them all. Farewell. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:02, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

- "I was provoked" is a liberal's excuse. It's the "look what you made me do" game. The conservative and/or libertarian position is that you yourself are responsible for your own actions. Baseball Bugs carrots 07:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Ani discussion followup
Hi. I wanted to follow-up on your report to ANI. I agree with you that the response from that editor was entirely inappropriate. I believe I have dealt with that, but let's keep an eye on it. However, I'd like to mention something: Your work on WP:NPP is very important and much appreciated. However, take a look at this section, specifically about where it recommends patrolling from the bottom of the new pages list. I'll be honest, when I was a less experienced editor, I did the same thing and I needed guidance in that area too. Please take it to heart, and keep up the hard work. Toddst1 (talk) 13:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, in looking through my archives, it's amazing how similar your episode and mine are. Take a look User_talk:Toddst1/Archive_1#Haley_Industries. Unfortunately the other editor had some bigger issues and was eventually indef blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Nice
this comment is a lot nicer! It expresses your opinion in quite clear language, without being uncivil to other editors. Even though I disagree with what is said (hey, reasonable people can occasionally disagree), I can appreciate that it is expressed in a much more civil language. henrik•talk 16:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
About the bar at the top of the page
Hi. While I was looking at your user page I noticed a bar at the top with links to your talk page, subpages, useful links etc. I just wanted to know, how do you get that? Could you tell me? If so, that would be great thanks.Ross Rhodes (talk) 21:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you
Thanks, though I've done something to it thats got rid of it? I'm not sure what I've done. Could you send me it again please? Ross Rhodes (talk) 21:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, again
Thanks once again for helping me. This will come very useful. Ross Rhodes (talk) 22:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Topic ban
You are not entitled to ignore your topic ban a mere week after being unblocked. You agreed to abide by a certain set of rules for 5 months, please don't subvert all the good progress you're making here by being dragged back into political discussions. A simple reference to WP:IAR is not an acceptable way to get around a topic ban you freely agreed to - indeed suggested yourself. henrik•talk 19:49, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Userbox
I'm curious if you think this is appropriate. Grsz 18:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Pretty sure you can't compare that to a "This user is a Democrat/Republican" userbox. Grsz 19:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as I am mine, and I've asked the community of theirs. Grsz 19:18, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Help
Hi. Since you created the bar at the top of your page onto my userpages, I was wandering, do you know how to create a guestbook? If so, can you please tell me? Thank you. Ross Rhodes (talk) 18:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum
Hi Axmann8,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Misplaced Pages all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Misplaced Pages (example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Misplaced Pages:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Misplaced Pages are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.
