INAPPROPRIATE ADMIN REQUEST ON WIKIPEDIA

Though there were many admins directly involved and more watching closely, not one during any of this saga ever acknowledged any of the truely valid arguments made by RandyKnotts of plainly improper actions against him. What was this vicious place that over 20 years earlier had started with such humbleness and even nobility in cause, and why had gaslighting and passive aggressive bad-faith actions become standard and routine? Maybe, there would soon be some type of saving grace, a highly respected admin who'd show up and be a real hero for good, a voice of cool reason among abused power.

Still undaunted, RandyKnotts pressed on bravely against the organized gang of blatantly unfair admins. Without hesitation, editor RandyKnotts expertly responded on merit to the nonsense of Deepfriedokra with a stinging objection. You might be thinking this Wikipedian circus of cruelty couldn't possibly get any more shocking. Then, it most definitely and absolutely did.

With level zero awareness of irony, admin Deepfriedokra lost his self-control once again and made another aggressive post on RandyKnott's talk page, this time specifically instructing the blocked editor to immediately file a new appeal and he had crafted a legal statement for RandyKnotts to include in it. The rules had changed once again and suddenly legal statements were not only okay but necessary. Deepfriedokra's prepared legal statement had to be recited back to them in another appeal, a legal statement which was crafted by the boys to indemnify Wikipedia and this crazy cast of admins.

At this point, RandyKnotts could have just submitted and followed orders, and made the legal statement which was prepared for him by hounding admins. He probably would have even been unblocked. Well maybe, but his conscience wouldn't have been very clear. If he had done that for the selfish reason of being allowed to remain as a basic editor on Wikipedia, it would have meant that he had also looked the other way from wrongdoings and also become corrupted.

The irony was not lost on RandyKnotts. Then the editor had an epic moment reminiscent of the final scene in the fabulous film Brave Heart with the great Mel Gibson. RandyKnotts chose freedom and respect over tyranny. He proudly responded that he shouldn't be required to submit a new appeal when the last appeal wasn't handled properly and was therefore invalid. He told them that he didn't believe it was appropriate to be required by Deepfriedokra and the boys to recite a crafted legal statement in exchange for an unblock. This was all particularly in bad-faith when his block was a gross retaliation by SarekofVulcan and double disciplinary action to begin with, and especially since the rules had been so unevenly applied against him only.
