:::::::"My intentions were to delete anything that may cause outrage"--well, that backfired spectacularly. And I don't even accept it: they are exactly the kinds of edits that you've reverted, by the thousands. If you want to delete things that cause outrage, you might could just delete racism, in real life, or something like that. Yes, I also am very disappointed, and not just because I discovered that I blocked one of your whitewashing IPs back in 2019 already. If you are to come back, you should address ''all'' of the points brought up here, including the salient point that the edits you made are completely contrary to Wikipedia policy, both in content and in motivation, and that if you don't understand that, and can convince your audience that you do, you are simply not competent to edit Wikipedia. Plenty of people including me have sometimes questioned your judgment in your reverts and other matters--well, here's all the evidence you need. I can't even bring myself to say "good luck and I hope to see you back", because whitewashing for a Nazi while betraying the people you work with every day, that's about as low as it gets. I suppose I hope you can climb out of that hole, but not until you understand what Nazis and neo-Nazis are and what they do.

::::::::::Look, I totally agree that it was very wrong for me to edit using IP addresses to avoid detection. I also should have educated myself better on the subject matter. I am not fully aware of the reasons behind the gravity of how my edits were interpreted, but I swear that my intentions were always pure. I know that good intentions cannot make up for the conscious decision that I made to go against Wikipedia policy. I know that neo-nazism is bad, but I want to make sure everyone knows that I did not have dirty intentions. This was a case of me seeing something that I felt needed to be corrected and going about it completely the wrong way and thus, betraying several people. Again, I am not expecting to get unblocked anytime soon, but I want to make sure I am not known for being a Nazi sympathizer because I do NOT support Nazism AT ALL. I was not trying to defend this man's behavior by any means. I was just trying to make it appropriate for an encyclopedia, and my judgement on that matter was completely flawed.

::::::::::::I just read a little about neo-nazis, and I am horrified at what I have read. I realize that they are a group that goes after minorities and promotes hatred. That goes against all of my core beliefs. I am also reading more into Richard B. Spencer, and I realize that he made his career based on being a neo-nazi, and I see now why the fact that he is one needed to be in there. I am horrified at what I am reading about him, and now understand that listing him merely as a publisher and author is a denial of significant facts. I am seeing more and more why my edits were interpreted the way they were. I feel even worse about my behavior now because I realize I was inadvertently hiding somebody's horrid behavior. Now I realize another thing I should have done which is to actually read the article and then decide whether or not the description of him was appropriate. If I had thoroughly read the article, I would have agreed that it needs to be in there. I realize now that this was not a case of him making one or two comments and people rushing to judgement (which is the case way too often), this is ideology he has been promoting his entire career. I do believe that I still have more to learn, but I am starting to understand more and more why people were so offended by my actions aside from the fact that I eluded everyone for such a long time.

{{od|::::::}}
{{yo|CLCStudent}} I for one believe you when you say you are not a Nazi sympathiser. I also believe that you were, in your view, simply trying to make that article more neutral. I also know that reasonable people can disagree about such things. But such a disagreement, involving an extremely emotional issue like Nazism, can often lead to unfortunate consequences, as I beleive it has in this case. For all of that I am very sorry. I hope you will be able to edit again.
