You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making personal attacks towards other editors. Simply, you don't get to call people "misogynists" or infer that they're associated with Nazism. That's way beyond our community norms, and you could have made the comment about Netoholic without being egregiously abusive. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

I was going to review the block this morning. I briefly read Lance's blog last night. He fits the profile of many people who have occasionally edited Wikipedia, but don't find it an interesting or compelling use of their spare time. He does appear to be a good blogger with a good command of English. Furthermore, WP:NPA says "In extreme cases, even isolated personal attacks may lead to a block for disruption. Death threats and issues of similar severity may result in a block without warning." While I agree that Lance should not have called anyone a mysognist or implied they write articles favoured by Nazis (in which case I'm in trouble copyediting Unity Mitford), nothing he said was comparable to a death threat, and their comment can simply be dealt by a message along the lines of "Please do not say this again". I'm surprised Lance has filed an unblock request; in his shoes I would probably think "you don't want my contributions, fine, **** off then" and just go elsewhere.

 * If Lancewiggs had posted an unblock request which actually promised not to do something like that again, I'd probably have unblocked them. But, there we are. Black Kite (talk) 10:52, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I would also point out to Lance that there is nothing intrinsically wrong in itself writing about far right-wing leaders or proponents, provided it is done in accordance to Wikipedia's editing policies, especially having a neutral point of view. Learning about Nazis and fascism is fine (cf. "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"), following it isn't. I have done considerable work on Katie Hopkins even though I despise everything she stands for. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:06, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * But then, Lancewiggs doesn't spend enough time here to know how that particular game is played. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:31, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
