Seems a pretty good explanation to me. You are not our first to come here in disgrace from Wikipedia; and, if not disgraced from it, we have many good users at least alienated by it. The option is available to work up a fresh reputation here; it's been done before.

However, asking for censorship of the comments namespace - and what you sought is self-censorship - is not a great way to gain respect in a news organisation where the freedom is of critical importance. It would be wrong to deny those with unsavoury fiews the chance to defend themselves; and just as wrong to deny the chance to respond in kind.

Since it was the entire log you accused me of not knowing the contents of, and not merely the present block, I feel obliged to point to pieces like "The community will no longer be entertaining your comments and queries," "per original warning and unapologetic response" and "sockpuppetry despite previous warnings." Everything I need to understand is given in the log, which is why the log exists. If I were called upon to review the measure put in place - indef block - I would come out in favour of it.

If you protest it, then working here and other sister projects can be used to show you've turned the corner. One indef-blocked Wikipedian became a wonderful asset to Wikinews and saw that block lifted as a result. However, I would caution you've more work to do than them to reach that stage.

Good luck.
