Unfair and unequal treatment. This block is a violent manifestation of intolerance and bias. --[[User:Tomascastelazo|Tomascastelazo]] ([[User talk:Tomascastelazo#top|talk]]) 15:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
+
I see this block as the result of several factors, intolerance, bias and misinterpretation of language with regards to some of the vocabulary that I use.
 
+

 
+
Some admins take literary license to qualify with pejorative adjectives some of my actions and opinions, yet when I use similar terms on their opinions they label them as insults, disruptive, etc. If there was ever a double standard, this is it.
 
+

 
+
My images can be freely pointed for deletion based on questionable grounds, and yet when I nominate images for deletion the reasons for the nomination are overlooked and I am accused of spuriously nominating images for deletion for revenge. How about looking at the reasons that I point out based on Common´s policy? Does the belief of revenge motivated deletion requests invalidates policy? Administrators files and actions must be above suspicion, otherwise, why have them? We cannot accept to have administrators serving as executioners and deleting legitimate images while their galleries are full of images that violate the policy that they want to enforce on others.
 
+

 
+
I use the words censor and censorship within the very clear meaning of the term. However, some people around here react not to the term but to the meaning they assign to the term. And the use of this term has some people go ballistic to the ridiculous point of justifying with euphemisms the very act of censorship.
 
+

 
+
This block is the result of some people being offended by me pointing out acts of censorship, and they take issue on my language. So for the sake of language clarity and logic, consider the following:
 
+

 
+
A man or a woman who performs sex is called a prostitute by definition, a man or a woman who performs an act of censorship is a censor.
 
+
A censor by definition according to Webster : a person who supervises conduct and morals: as
 
+
a : an official who examines materials (as publications or films) for objectionable matter
 
+
b : an official (as in time of war) who reads communications (as letters) and deletes material considered sensitive or harmful
 
+
So sex for money = prostitution; deleting objectionable material = censorship
 
+

 
+
Of course we could use euphemisms for prostitutes, calling them sex servers, sexual relief providers, orgasm provocateurs, etc., but after all, a prostitute. We could call censors guardians of the faith, morals, content editors of uncomfortable material, but after all, a censor.
 
+

 
+
Motives are irrelevant, a person who sells his/her body for sex, in order to pay the rent, buy milk, make car payments is still a prostitute. A person who deletes editorial matter because he may think it violates a copyright, or dislikes the author or the subject matter, is still a censor.
 
+

 
+
Clear?
 
+

 
+
Pancho Villa was a ruthless Mexican revolutionary who had a way of acting when his troops caught enemy troops, or “possible” enemy troops. His usual order was: Kill them provisionally and find out later.” Well, my block was pretty much the same. A classic a-la-Stalin execution of the block. The block executioner asked for complicity while pulling the trigger. What a beautiful example of searching for enlightment in an encyclopedic environment.
