Notes for future essay:

  • First, remove all emotional verbiage from anything you're going to post, read it, re-read it, think about it, re-read it again. Do all this before you hit the "save" button on an unblock request.
  • Acknowledge that you do understand what the problem was which precipitated the original block.
  • Explain that you will make every effort to avoid a recurrence of said problem.
  • Put ALL thoughts of "getting even" far, far, FAR out of your head.
  • Respond to all proper questions in a polite and HONEST fashion.
  • Ignore any and all snark directed at you, and avoid all temptations to respond in kind.
  • Keep in mind "FOC", (but don't say "FOC YOU".)

Remember: YOU are the one that is blocked. Pointing out another editors shortcomings is not going to get you any closer to editing.
