January 2019 run-in with Wikipedian magistrates

• Sanction: You are topic-banned from everything related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people for three months. (expires 4/12/2019)
  • Notice of sanctions, Entry in 2019 arbitration enforcement log
• Background: Earnestly attempted to raise to the attention of invested users what I perceived as a clear instance of civil POV-pushing in the area of conservative American politicians, political pundits, and their associated organizations.
• Outcome: Magistrates opined, essentially, that my raising the concern was frivolous; that it was an attempt to win a dispute regarding content; that I was forum-shopping after raising the issue first at AN/I and subsequently at AE (upon the suggestion of two admins--Drmies, TParis--that this was the proper forum); and that there existed "substantial concern about [my] competence in editing in the American politics topic area, i.e., not being able to distinguish between non-neutral and other editing."
• Other relevant links:
  • Some of the drama on the Mitch McConnell page that led to the AN/I entry -- see also article history.
  • The AN/I entry
  • The AE/Request for enforcement ordeal
  • Conversation between admins regarding user whose conduct was the subject of the ANI/AE requests
  • Prior AE Request regarding user whose conduct was the subject of the ANI/AE requests.
  • Interesting warning ("heads up") left by an anonymous user on my talk page saying that "the wheels have already been set in motion via emails/IRC channels to ban/block [me] so they don't have to deal with a non-leftist perspective."
