:@[[User:TarnishedPath|TarnishedPath]] are you saying Americans are a race? Be serious. In any case, we’re both Australian, and you know as well as I do that yank is not used as an insult. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 03:48, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Theleekycauldron|Theleekycauldron]] re the two edits of 18 Feb, I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek. My detractors have failed to mention that I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane%20Khelif&diff=1339141376&oldid=1339139575 apologised] once it was made clear to me that it was coming across wrong.

:The comment today was the gentlest possible rebuke to somebody appearing to indirectly suggest that I would support the holocaust. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 04:13, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:I see we’re getting the band back together. Well, I’ve no interest in responding to everyone point-by-point. Uninvolved admins can assess the strength of those arguments. I still find bizarre the hand-wave that Imane Khelif, an Algerian Arab, is ‘basically black’ because…why? She’s from Africa? That is ''actual'' racism, not just an accusation that can be weaponised in a petty online crusade. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 21:41, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
::As a side note, she is not an ‘indigenous Algerian’ either, as far as I can tell. That term in a domestic context does not mean what it means in the West, and would seem to imply she is a Berber. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 21:49, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Simonm223|Simonm223]] read the sentence after the one you selectively quoted. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 12:42, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
::::@[[User:Newslinger|Newslinger]], I stand by that comment, and if that means I fall on my sword, so be it. Simonm223 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=1341482862 said] {{tq|Riposte97 has asked the lead to introduce doubt as to whether Khelif is a '''woman'''}} (emphasis mine), quoting me as saying '''"stating unequivocally that she is female is, in my view, no longer responsible"'''. In the ''very next sentence'', I say, '''"It would be more responsible to say that Khelif was born a woman."''' I don't believe it is battleground behaviour to call our that kind of selective quotation. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 23:42, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
:@[[User:Arcticocean|Arcticocean]] Could you please tell me exactly what I've said that violated content rules severely enough to merit a ban? Or is the rule that if enough mud is thrown at someone, some has to stick? [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 09:57, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I'm probably close to the word limit, so I will content myself with one final observation: something that ''is'' hugley disruptive to this project is when a brigade comes together to systematically pursue someone with a different opinion on noticeboards. It wastes an unbeliveable amount of editor time, and when successful, is a large contributor to the systemic bias of this website, weakening the experience for readers.

:As the Alans, Goths, and Vandals continue to circle the borders, I'd like to request a modest word extension to defend any other points that emerge. [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]] ([[User talk:Riposte97|talk]]) 01:04, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:Theleekycauldron|Theleekycauldron]] I'm not alleging a coordinated conspiracy, just making what I think is a pretty obvious observations about how noticeboard discussions operate. They are far more likely to be an extension of a content disagreement than some kind of neutral community assessment of behaviour. The person filing this complaint freely owned (with commendable honesty) that we had a content disagreement. Some of my other accusers in this thread have said far more objectionable things in GENSEX from an objective standpoint, but decided to lay the boot into me, I assume because our disagreements trump consistency.
