This was a very bad result.  Aside from fixing the outcome, it also left me with a very unfair black mark of "harassing" FT2, and left me with a ''de facto'' shoot-on-sight probation, administered by the same crowd of gullible administrators who have gathered round FT2.  These have been indefinitely blocking me any time he challenges FT2's administrative actions surrounding the articles in question, each time citing the last bad block as the reason for the new one.

I complained on FT2's talk page that "'''The effect''' is to support the efforts of paedophiles, isn't it? PHD is an exceptionally good editor and has a strong scientific knowledge of the subject. Why was he banned in the first place? Why this secrecy? [Peter Damian] 09:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC).

=== BLOCK NUMBER FIVE 31 August 2008 ===  

This block was not directly connected with FT2, but it was a nice example of how a vulnerable editor with a bad block history will soon be picked off by the trigger-happy. I was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080830&target=Peter_Damian working] on a new article, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemic_theory_of_miracles epistemic theory of miracles].  You can see it is a nicely finished article now - and it covers an important area of eighteenth century thought about miracles (as well as the perennial question about how or whether pseudoscience can truly be distinguished from science).

I have since been criticised for 'wanting the guy's head'.  Well, as Giano said, "I cannot see how placing an AFD tag on an article that looks like this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Epistemic_theory_of_miracles&oldid=235165582], without bothering to perform any basic checking can be anything other than trolling or monumantal ignorance. Whether the former or the latter should such an editor be running around loose on Wikipedia". <ref>Giano (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2008 (UTC) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=235455305#book_burning_break]</ref>  And in any case ''I was only asking the guy to apologise''.  It was I who had suffered, I was the one who had the road signs messing up my talk page, plus a template for deletion, plus a short block (and as noted I apologised back - I have a foul temper).
