Behaviour on this page: Arbitration case pages exist to assist the Arbitration Committee in arriving at a fair, well-informed decision. You are required to act with appropriate decorum during this case. While grievances must often be aired during a case, you are expected to air them without being rude or hostile, and to respond calmly to allegations against you. Accusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all). Editors who conduct themselves inappropriately during a case may be sanctioned by an arbitrator, clerk, or functionary, without further warning, by being banned from further participation in the case, or being blocked altogether. Personal attacks against other users, including arbitrators or the clerks, will be met with sanctions. Behavior during a case may also be considered by the committee in arriving at a final decision.
I wanted to expand slightly on why I think a desysop is the appropriate course of action here, and I don't believe we need look any further than the evidence already presented regarding the recent block:
I can't see how that series of events could lead anyone to believe this is someone who should be able to block other users and I can't imagine how you could tell yourself in your mind that a block like this was in any way justifiable, but apparently Enigmaman was able to do so, and as of now has only agreed that the length as excessive, not that the whole thing is completely bonkers.

@Enigmaman: You keep trying to portray this as being you reversing yourself as soon as anyone objected. Other than being false on its face, per the "heads up" on your talk page, nobody should've had to tell you blocking someone for a 10-year-old comment that they were already blocked for by an uninvolved admin is just nuts. What thought was going through your head when you deliberately did this, fully aware of what you were doing, boggles the mind.
As I've mentioned repeatedly, you went back and shortened the block shortly after placing it. This implies you did reconsider it and the only problem you saw was the length. That so, so, so far out in left field that in all honesty I'm not at all sure there is anything you can say that would reassure the community you fully understand how absolutely insane that looks, but just saying "I undid it and promise not to do it again" certainly isn't adequate.

I do not know what else to say. I acknowledged I was wrong. I lifted the block. I apologized. I would never do anything like that again. Enigmamsg 01:04, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
(refactored from Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Enigmaman/Evidence) Adding one more thing. I saw somewhere last week something about using extended confirmed protection. The vast majority of my protections were semi-protections. In an instance a few months ago, several articles were being hit by edit wars as autoconfirmed users were seeking to change athlete information (which team they were on, etc.) before the trade in question was completed. When I saw the issue arise regarding a particular trade, I extended-confirmed protected several pages of players involved in the trade for a short period so it would remain until the trade was finalized and made official. In the case of Tim Hardaway Jr., I accidentally forgot to set a duration. You can see from the other protections made at the time that it was intended to be a very short term protection.
