Request reason:
I've been blocked for being an "obvious sock" of some banned user. This is simply not true.
Decline reason:
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
This user has exactly the same pathological obsession with al-Bassa, writing in the same style, exhibiting the same irrationality, and trying to make the same edits as banned User:AbdulHornochsmannn. Said banned user has come in via a large number of different IP addresses, so knows how to find open proxies, big deal. In last edit [1] claims to know where AbdulHornochsmannn lives and claims to know that edits from an IP in Saudi Arabia were made by AbdulHornochsmannn. Denial of being AbdulHornochsmannn is exceedingly implausible. This is a garden-variety troll and should be treated as such. Zerotalk 06:43, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

- "In last edit [2] claims to know where AbdulHornochsmannn lives and claims to know that edits from an IP in Saudi Arabia were made by AbdulHornochsmannn."
- No! I claim that edits from IP's in Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, the US, the UK, all of which having been deleted as "rubbish" are DIFFERENT PEOPLE! Why were THEY deleted by Zero? Both I and "Hornachmann" have IP adresses in CANADA. These other people are OTHER PEOPLE. LewisMontreal (talk) 08:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh dear. Just look at the history of this talk page. Complaint after complaint after complaint that the article is a sham. Just how big is this "family of trolls" of ours? At what point does this vast, world-wide "family of trolls" become consensus, and the revert-happy anti-Jewish (not an insult there, just the facts. Zero insists on blaming Jews and demonizing them as "greedy, sadistic armed robbers" despite deleted sources from eminent historians so much as suggesting otherwise) indeed turn out to be the troll?

- I have been to the village, and heard its history from an elder who witnessed the events of 1948. In May 14th 1948 the village was circled from 3 directions by Israeli forces. The villagers escaped to the north, acrosss the border to Lebanon (and were not deported two weeks later as the article states). There were at least 3 churches and a mosque, and they remain the only buildings still standing in Bassa today. Pelegisrael 13:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Yet another fellow troll? LewisMontreal (talk) 09:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- What the article fails to mention is that many of these Arab villages close to the border with Lebanon were occupied by ALA fedayeen and other Arab irregular forces from Lebanon, not to mention Lebanese army troops. To portray these villages as all being detached from the conflict until the Hagannah or IDF decided to occupy them and expel peaceful Arab villagers is simply false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.68.95.65 (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Another?

- I'm forgetting those two other British socks of mine who edited the main article, one from Michigan, another from the UK. Including myself, my family of trolls amounts to nine, and has aparently been at work sabotaging this article for just under three years now, since June '07: Two in Canada, three in the US, one in the UK, one in the Netherlands, one in Saudi Arabia, and "PelegIsrael", wherever s/he happens to be hailing from. I now have a complete baseball team of trolls, and that's only the ones not deleted and therefore requiring delving into the history to see just how many else have been gagged. Is nine trolls on three coninents enough, or must I dig yet further?
- "It is just possible (though very unlikely) that you are an organized group rather a single person." Very unlikely? Assuming for the sake of argument that all six North American trolls including Mr. June '07 are me, two of the the other three are in Europe, and one in Asia. How is it humanly possible for all of these people to be "ME"? All I have is one account under the name "LewisMontreal". Should I be penalized for no other reason than the fact that eight other people see this article for the anti-semitic propaganda it is? Gotta run or I'll be late for my plane to Ryadh (a city in a certain, namely, Saudi Arabia, where it should be mentioned I'm forbidden entry due to the fact that I have an "Israel" stamp on my passport.

Every nerdy teenager knows how to come in via multiple IPs. Zerotalk 23:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- Let's please keep this civil, Zero. That was uncalled for. LewisMontreal (talk) 00:40, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

To visiting fellow admins: This troll has announced in email "You think I'm gonna give up? ... I'm having fun with this. ... Let the games continue!" and followed it by mail full of childish obscenities. Can I suggest that its talk page writing privileges be revoked? Otherwise it will demand to be unblocked forever.
