Dude, you didn't get raped. Have some sense of perspective.
Well, I didn't want to mention it on wikipedia, but yes, I did indeed get raped. Connolly and his pals, dressed up for Oktoberfest strapped me down, pried my eyes open like in a Clockwork Orange and made me watch an Inconvenient Truth for 5 days straight.
I was mentally raped.

So, you were being a dick, and someone gave you a talking-to. You didn't even get blocked. If you want people to go out on a limb for you and invest their personal time and energy investigating a case for presentation as an admin conduct RFC or an Arbcom case, you need to give them something more to work with than, "I got a talking-to for being a prat" and "Something similar happened 3 years ago."
Well, you are welcome to your opinion. I layed it out as best (perhaps imperfectly) as I could and I thought their behavior was so oddly specific as to cause question. Even if this ANI report doesn't go anywhere (not that I had too much hope) it'll let others know to watch out for these users.
Of course, I didn't point out the examples of the other facebook admins helping each other out, but that seemed beyond the scope of things and unnecessary.

Be nice. Edit responsibly. Refer to editors by their preferred nicknames, without being snide.
Perhaps he could simply asked nicely? Did he ever ask or did he simply delete my entire comment in order to exert content control and to piss me off?
QUOTE
If you can show that a bunch of editors who are facebook friends just happen to show up at the exact time and place needed to maintain control over content, when you have followed the rules scrupulously, I (and others) might be interested. If all you have is that a bunch of editors who are facebook friends happened to show up at the right time to call you a prat when you were being a prat, well, yawn.
Again, that's your opinion - the other users who showed up, admin included, saw their fault as well (and they weren't even aware of their off-wiki collusion).
QUOTE
You want the editors engaged in "teamwork" (as you allege) to stop, or to be made to stop. That is "seeking relief." You want to persuade one or more admins to help you (else why post to ANI?). To put this in the simplest possible terms, you have to look like you deserve help.
Are you joking? As I "allege?" You can't go to any article with Connoly without Schulz or Dabelstein showing up.
Wikipedia is a joke because of people like them. The guy uses his faked/fluffed credentials to bash his opinion into articles instead of trying to maintain a NPOV.
Hell, did you even see the ridiculous little sentence that he HAD to have in that article?
