I am NOT a sock of Sussexman or anyone else. User:David Lauder|David Lauder]] (talk) 10:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sussexman died from prostate cancer in October 2016. I am still here (as is obvious). This whole business was a frame-up and according to Wikipedia's own rules no-one is banned "indefinitely". David Lauder (talk) 09:00, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it does indeed address my block, which I have always contested in principal as a more than obvious witch-hunt based upon suppositions and so-called coincidences. It is surely laughable to tell me to address my unblocking request to the person who blocked me?! Its a bit like gang warfare where a gang of lads bundle you into a room and lock the door, me screaming out to the person turning the key to let me out. As I said, my contributions to Wikipedia speak for themselves. Had I wanted to be a wrecker would I have made those efforts? David Lauder (talk) 15:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Clarification motion
A case (The Troubles) in which you were involved has been modified by which changed the wording  of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles. For the arbitration committee -- S Philbrick (Talk)  21:04, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Unblock request
"Massive amounts of evidence". Just a massive lie. Why would someone spending thousands of hours of his time adding to the project deliberately try to sabotage the project? Every ask yourself that? I won;t say anything about the IRA terrorist supporter who "compiled" your "massive evidence". And Wikipedia had a rule about how long people can be expelled for. Maybe you should look it up?
