Block

Daringly, I've blocked this account because its purpose seems to be to add a certain personal website to Ashley Madison, along with claims that could be defamatory. You knew there was a problem with the source, you knew it had been removed, and you knew the page had been protected, yet when protection expired you reverted anyway. I'm going to post our block template below so you can use the links to apply for an unblock if you want to. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 04:07, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

The block was incorrect as the posts were based on valid research and the site in question was, at the time, the authority on the subject - which was Ashley Madison and claims of their wrong doing. The referenced posts on the site were not defamatory by the laws of the United States (statements of fact and/or opinion), as was observed by numerous attorneys. Differences of opinion should not be the basis for blocking people from posting information on Wikipedia, and as such, I would question the integrity of the poster who flagged me for a block. After all, a page about a company on Wikipedia most certainly should include claims of wrong-doing, and considering there was a lawsuit filed against the owner of the aforementioned site by Ashley Madison, (which resulted in counter-suit and settlement), it most certainly seems that the posts I made were valid at the time. Regardless, as the site in question no longer contains the original posts, the question as to the validity of the site can no longer be questioned, as the site now has changed ownership and points to Ashley Madison testimonials instead of complaints. I would like my account unblocked please.

Decline reason:

I suggest you read the Verifiability, Neutral Point of View, and Biography of Living Persons policies to understand where you have gone wrong. The website that you were using as a reference was not a reliable source, and should not be used. PhilKnight (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
