When Vespasian sent for Helvidius Priscus and commanded him not to go into the senate, he replied, "It is in your power not to allow me to be a member of the senate, but so long as I am, I must go in." "Well, go in then," says the emperor, "but say nothing." "Do not ask my opinion, and I will be silent." "But I must ask your opinion." "And I must say what I think right." "But if you do, I shall put you to death." "When then did I tell you that I am immortal? You will do your part, and I will do mine: it is your part to kill; it is mine to die, but not in fear: yours to banish me; mine to depart without sorrow. Epictetus, Discourses, 1.2.19-21

To enforce an arbitration decision and for violation of your unblock conditions, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. L Faraone 03:04, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Salve LFaraone. NB: What you wrote at the time is: You are topic banned from all pages related to (a) The Israel-Palestine conflict and relations between Israel and Palestine; and (b) Judaism, both broadly interpreted. I went by those words, which you wrote yourself, and I am satisfied that I remained within the parameters of what I agreed to with you.

This one week block is completely unimportant to me, and would be unimportant to me even if you made the duration twenty years. I agreed to what you stipulated, (even though I considered part of your demands, and all of your demeanor during the discussion between us, be insulting) because I had a single goal I wanted to accomplish. That goal has already been accomplished, and that is quite enough for me.

I wish you well.

NB: At the time LFaraone gave me this one week block, I emailed him asking how he could justify blocking me on grounds that were not in the agreement I made through him with arbcom. He never responded, and neither has any other member of arbcom attempted to justify his action. Kwork2 (talk) 11:28, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
