Hi, Sport and politics. As you've stopped responding at AN/I, I'm just notifying you here that you've been formally issued a final and only warning via AN/I: All of Sport and politics comments and communications are to be in compliance with Wikipedia's civility policies and at all times - failure to do this will result in being blocked. Said warning was issued by, and endorsed by , , and. Please see the AN/I thread for the full comments. Regards, S warm   ♠  08:33, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Individuals making up nonsense and then going round making up their own rules. I firmly reject this "Only warning" Bullshit. I shall be looking at ways to appeal this pile of dog poo. I firmly stand by the comments which I made. and the other user was wholly sexist when quoting the dictionary, and being as ignorant as one can be. the apology was not sicncere, and i never asked for one.

I have removed the comments which appear to have caused the issues below. I apologise for making those comments, they are not made out of anything other than frustration, upset and disappointment. All I have ever wanted to do here is improve and write articles, it does though seem that I get to meet users who do so n an aggressive way, and have lots of other users who act just as aggressively around them. Maybe it is ,e, maybe it is them, maybe it is both of us. I just want to leave and com back later, It is likely to be months and potentially years. I may never come back, but All i want to do is walk away do some soul searching and potentially comeback at some future point. I am not in a great place myself, and in the future being on here could be something can have in my life. I would like to learn more when I come back, but now all I want to do is leave voluntarily.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:.
 * You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia for blatant violations of the warning given above. You were given a final warning and you chose to double down in response to it. As a result you've left me with no choice as it seems clear you're unwilling to abide by Wikipedia's civility policies and interact with other editors in a civil manner. Canterbury Tail talk 13:56, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

If "[you] firmly stand by the comments which [you] made" then an indefinite block is entirely appropriate. As another editor observed in the ANI thread, a male editor making similar comments to a female editor would likely not received a warning, but have been immediately indefinitely blocked. --Neil N  talk to me 14:18, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Those comments have been struck through and withdrawn, and I apologise for those comments. Sport and politics (talk) 14:20, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If you want to walk away for a time, I can discuss with the blocking admin a reduction in the block length to say three months so you won't be tempted to come back before then. --Neil N  talk to me 14:26, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * But you still made those comments. This is the root of the problem, you keep making comments such as those and I can't shake the feeling right now that you're just saying what you think we want to hear for the time being. My concern isn't now, it's what happens if you come back and interact with other editors again as it seems any time you don't like something you drop into these civility issues. Based on the history of such comments, the repeated reports on ANI and what I've seen myself, I can't in good faith lift the block at this point, though I leave it to other admins to consider this. Canterbury Tail talk</i> 14:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm in agreement. In this case, the standard offer would apply I feel. Walk away for 6 months, come back and show that you really want to work in a collaborative environment, staying away from such comments that led to this block. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)


 * This is now a CheckUser block.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:07, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
