To be fair, and the ultimate decision is of course up to you, but I don't really see any attacks. I guess the blinders part, but meh...Though, I do completely disagree with his assertion that he has been attacked. We have all been arguing our points. We've gotten a little cocky at times, but nothing on the level of an attack.

I appreciate you defending me, but it really doesn’t matter.  I had a couple users early on who were constantly attacking my ability to debate rather than my arguments.  Eventually I got tired of it and left, then a day or so later I came back and one of those initial users saw me and started to mock me yet again.  If I’m the one that gets punished, then this frankly isn’t the place for me.  Especially when the moderator makes several untrue accusations.  

Accusing someone of exaggerating the truth to push an agenda is ad hominem because that does not address the argument. You are attacking the character of that arguer instead. As a result, your claim that I am making several untrue accusations actually fits your description "exaggerating the truth to push an agenda" better than when you leveled at accusation at thismeintiel.

You also misconstrue dissent as attacks on you. As a result, your claims that you've been disrespectful also falls short since if you actually have been respectful, then you would not have made the false equivalence of disagreement as "being constantly attacked".

So how about you try this again? Present your argument, provide your evidence in forms of links (so no "Wikipedia said so". You have to link the original sources), and we go from there.
