=== BLOCK NUMBER FOUR 13 August 2008 ===  

In an even stranger incident, I was blocked "for personal attack or harassment" when I [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/NLP_Modeling nominated] one of FT2's idiosyncratic amateur psychology articles for deletion.  The block review is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=231762926#Peter_Damian_block_review here], also refer to my [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20080814&target=Peter_Damian contributions] to 13 August 2008.  According to the blocking admin, I was indefinitely blocked "for continuing the same harassment that resulted in [the] prior block".  I was accused of 'continuing to go after FT2' simply because I had asked him [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FT2&diff=next&oldid=231624536 politely] if he had a conflict of interest <ref>there is a suspicion in the community, frequently voiced, that FT2 has a business involvement in NLP and that the many articles he has written on the subject are an attempt (a successful one indeed ) to put an academic gloss on this pseudoscientific gibberish by means of Wikipedia</ref>.  I was also accused of editing pedophilia articles - why this should have been a problem, I do not know.

:Sorry, what has the pedophilia bit got to do with this? I objected to Jules Verne being labelled a pedophile, and to several of the strange claims being made in the 'historical couples' article - remember my initial involvement in the pedophile stuff was at the explicit request of user Thatcher.
