Oh Kevin, being a capital W white supremacist hasn't gotten you blocked on WP, but this will:
QUOTE
D__ B__ of Lancaster, Pennsylvania is a gay homosexual who got that way through being violently sodomized by his father...over and over again. He wears pink shorts, and once hosted a website called (and I shit you not, here) StupitityWatch.com

Here's what he looks like: Picture of D__ B__ in his world-famous pink bicycle shorts

And here's D__ B__'s Facebook profile

In case you're wondering, yes, D__ B__ is a worthless fuck who would be well-advised to leave me alone here at Wikipedia (and stop importing a 2006 conflict from another webiste; I don't want to play anymore, D__ - I never wanted to play, so stay the Hell out of my damn business, or pay the price).

I thank him in advance for his cooperation in this matter. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 02:06, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Now blocked, but given the "out" that their account may have been "compromised".

I would not have believed it if I hadn't watched it happen. A convicted terrorist -- who openly identifies themselves as a member of a white supremacist group -- edits on WP. When that editor leaves homophobic slurs and threats on an IP's talk page, identifying the person by name and linking to his Facebook page, he is blocked. But after leaving a contrite apology excuse, has their block reduced to one month.
QUOTE
Request reason:
I'm afraid my account wasn't compromised. I realize what I did was inappropriate and very foolish, but in my defense, I would simply wish to point out that this person has been harassing me all over the internet, for over four years. I simply lost my temper, and behaved in a very unfortunate (and in fairness, uncharacteristic) manner (which I can assure you, most emphatically, is not an event which would occur in the future, were I to be given a second chance).

Within that context, I would like to request that my ban be lifted after a period of one month. I realize that I can't simply expect to receive no sanction for my extremely reckless and stupid behavior, but by the same token, it hardly seems to be in the best interests of Wikipedia for a constructive editor such as myself to be permanently banned, merely because of a single instance* of foolish behavior (and in response to a four-and-a-half-year long campaign of internet-wide harassment, it only seems fair for me to note).

The following "diff" should help to shed some light on why I lost my temper: LINK


Since January of 2005 ie., six-and-a-half years of NOT misbehaving (minus a single instance where I was blocked for 24 hours in August of 2009, due to edit warring).

Accept reason:
(1-month duration accepted) I am amending your block to one month, as per your suggestion in the message above. I would, however, like to take this opportunity to say that it is not simply I who take a dim view of this sort of behaviour. You appear to understand the gravity of your actions and have a history of positive contributions to Wikipedia; this means, therefore, I will assume good faith in this request. I wish to caution you that Wikipedia is no place for this sort of dispute and especially not for homophobia — just as it is not my place as a gay administrator to tell you what I think of your personal views, which you will note that I am not doing. You understand this, and so I hope you will return in a month's time with fresh eyes; and that you will return to contribute positively, as you have to date. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 21:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

IP: "You're a racist."

Kev: "ROAR! I HAT Gayz! U iz f-g! I be mad! I mad at d--es, f-gs, lesbos, and toaster ovens! Me yell and curse like ignorant person that I r!

WP Admin: "Umm... that is mean and wrong. You are blocked forever."

Kev: "ROAR! I iz gud editor on other things, though! Me not go round call gayz f-gs and Degeneres even though they iz! Me entitled 2 provincial and prejudiced views despite beeing on enternational edukation praject wit yung, sinsitive children and diverse golbal population of editorz and red gobally by diverse gobal population! ROAR! Me iz gud editor!"

Nicholas Turnbull: "I believe in love, kindness, and forgiveness. Your views are repugnant, distasteful, and not conducive to a collaborative project with a diverse editor and reader base. However, given that you haven't gone crazy before despite being a despicable Nazi-reject, I'm going to reduce your block. I am being kind to my enemies who are not kind to me. In other words, this in an effective 'screw you!' to your entrenched beliefs and may lead you into the light of tolerance and love.

Kev: "ROAR! Tanks U, Dikoloss Redbull, U is gud f--got admin. Me not call gay Degeneres on WP f-gs anymoar even if they iz. U f-gs not az bad as sutpid forinners lik the f-g-lovin Birtish!"

Oh yes. I asked him about that here and he confirmed it a few posts later in the thread.
QUOTE
What can I say? During the 1990s, I was a pretty disturbed guy, due at least in part to a lifelong, untreated case of Bipolar Disorder, and I did a stupid, fucked-up thing. While I may adhere to a number of controversial socio-political notions (although there's probably more of Ignatius J. Riley in me than Julius Streicher), I do not actually hate people based solely on their membership in a particular racial, ethnic, and/or religious class. And like many people, that has not always been true about me. Unlike most other people who used to hate people on the basis of such criteria, I have the unfortunate burden of an evidentiary paper trail, cataloging my past foolishness in the local newspapers. Whereas most people simply have the luxury of lying about their past idiocy, if they are so inclined. And while I no longer hate people for being Jewish, I did not subsequently decide it was a good idea to become an adherent to orthodox socio-political thought. When I became a National Socialist ("Nazi") in 1996, I did so because of my awareness that this society is on an extremely deleterious trajectory. I don't think that has changed; we are still plunging towards an abyss. I simply don't think targeting people on the basis of their demographic make-up is a very good way to avert the disasters which surely await the USA in the decades to come, if our national trajectory is not altered.

QUOTE(Wikipedia)

Jacob "Jake" Featherston is a fictional character in the Southern Victory Series novel series by Harry Turtledove. He is the fictional timeline's equivalent of Adolf Hitler.

...

Featherston blames Blacks, and the powerful families that control the country, largely via the Whig Party, for causing the Confederate States to lose the Great War. His rise in politics to the position of President of the Confederate States was spurred on by his dream of overthrowing the status quo, and solving race relations in the country once and for all. Featherston is so sure that Blacks are a threat to the Confederacy that, even as the United States begins to win the war, he continues committing resources to the genocide against them.

Featherston's racism, unlike that of the German Nazis or Japanese militarists, is of a very unmystical kind. He does not seek to carry out a global genocide, but simply to "save" the Confederacy.

...

Featherston serves in the series as an analog to Adolf Hitler. One reviewer, however, has pointed out that Featherston is not an exact parallel to Hitler and found his image, rhetoric, and propaganda techniques for the most part credibly adapted to the American South.

Like Hitler, Featherston wrote a book expressing his political and racial views called Over Open Sights, an analog to Mein Kampf. The title of the book is a reference to Featherston’s career as an artillery sergeant. Featherston started writing this book back during the defeat of the Confederate States of America in the Great War of 1914–1917. His embitterment over his lack of promotion coupled with his resentment in the general atmosphere of defeat and his view that the CSA’s Blacks had stabbed his country in the back, is spoken clearly in the novel. It was published right prior of the Second Great War. While most Confederates bought the book, many characters remarked there wasn't anything different than what they had heard already from Featherston's radio broadcasts.

Turtledove himself had this to say about Featherston:

QUOTE
I see people who write characters who are loonies and make them convincing and believable, and I envy them tremendously. I don’t really understand them. It’s funny, because I’ve created my own monster. In the ‘Great War’ and ‘American Empire’ books, I’m writing the person who is the functional equivalent of Adolf Hitler. I’m inside his head — and that’s a very strange place for somebody who thinks of himself as a fairly rational fellow to be. That’s alarming.

Ah, the Phora. A forum so notorious, and like Wikipedia, it has its own independent forum for criticism.
