:::::::Dealing with allegations of sexual misconduct. At that moment in time, the [[Roy Moore]] BLP was taking a much harder line against the subject of the biography than the [[Al Franken]] BLP, even though allegations against both had been unproven and neither man had admitted wrongdoing. So I felt that both articles should be treating the allegations as roughly the same. Fortunately, the real world did what some Wikipedia editors refused to do: treat them exactly the same. [[User:Byteflush|Byteflush]] illustrates what would happen if an indefinite topic ban is applied. It would just become another point of contention when I try to get the topic ban removed. Certain editors would try to weaponize the process. We need fewer points of contention here at Wikipedia, not more. If returning I would probably go back to military history. Far fewer disputes about policy application, and far fewer editors on a political crusade that puts Wikipedia at risk for litigation.

::::::::Were Moore's alleged victims also entitled to the protections of our BLP policy? Byteflush makes a valid point. You have routinely trashed the BLP policy in pursuit of some crusade against "left-wing bias". Maybe military history would be ok but I worry that in some cases that intersects with BLP and politics. I think as a minimum you have to undertake not to try to protect us against our "risk for litigation" any longer as it seems you have repeatedly exercised poor judgement in this area. BLP is actually a key area for me and the real risk would be allowing you to continue to try to use it as a weapon. It is what you were blocked for and as of your 07:11 post you are still not getting it. --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 12:31, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
