WP:FRESHSTART disclousre
Full disclosure. I have operated vandal accounts in the past, I am trying to reform. I have kept this as a "Good guy" account that has not been used to for vandalism part from one "vintage sock" joke edit.

I have been diagnosed with conduct disorder and instead of vandalizing on the streets, rioting, or shooting people to death I have simply used to Wikipedia as a valve to let off steam.

I have now moved on, got a nice home of my own, finished college, got professional medical help and been discharged from mental health services. I will promise not to vandalize again on Wikimedia owned wikis if the following admins apologize to me.

Full disclosure, I am User:Norman Rogers. I want to use this as my main account from now on and not make any more sock puppet accounts.

User:J.delanoy, User:NawlinWiki, User:Bsadowski1, User:Favonian,

If it means being banned from Wikipedia for another year, then at least make it official. I am not in a rush, I have been editing Wikipedia since 2002, I'm only 26 years old, I can reform and be positive editor again.

 * Why should those admins apologize to you, a self-confessed vandal? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:54, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Because WP:AGF, Forgiveness, The Pope Resigning. I can give many reasons, but these admins have violated WP:NPA behind my back, What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I have been discussing this with oversight and stewards privatley, I want to try, but I am trying to make some comprimises with them.
 * Vandals don't get to demand compromises or apologies. If you want to have any chance of ever being unblocked, you need to be able to demonstrate a lengthy vandal-free and sock-free period, and unconditionally agree to behave appropriately. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 00:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Many others, but those are most of my "Good" hand accounts.

Application of WP:IAR
To all reviewers reading this, remember that I WP:IAR before many Wikipedians were born. It is 2013, I was 16 when I first edited Wikipedia, Why should teenagers beat up people who are only a few years away from being a teenager themsleves!

Decline of unblock accepted.
Like I said, I will "go away", respect my ban, and Will not attempt to edit Wikipedia for 1 year starting from the date of the block, User:Jpgordon I know as a veteren admin who opposed my WP:RFA in 2004, so when I do come back I will not ever attempt to obtain adminship!. I can accept it with a WP:CIVIL face, because I am a good person in real life. Normsdale (talk) 00:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * However, JP.Gordon's tone of voice scared me, and almost lead me to vandalize again, so waiting out my block for a whole year is justified, maybe even more to heal the wiki-sin I committed. I am a good Christian person now, who really never wanted to vandalize, but to protest poor conditions of editing. Normsdale (talk) 07:09, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I have made good edits on Wikivoyage.

 * At least get my "indefinite block" set to March 2014. I can live with that long a block.
 * My intention is the my other accounts are blocked, and that "Normsdale" is the account to unblock. Normsdale (talk) 17:40, 8 April 2013 (UTC) I will wait until March 2014 before editing this page again.
