:From [[WP:BLOCK]], "As a rule of thumb, when in doubt, do not block." Why do I have to quote policy to admins? Is it your argument then that good faith edits not accompanied by comments on the talk page are blockable? Do you realize that the editor accusing me of "POV pushing" was himself [[User_talk:76.15.195.93|blocked for edit warring over this topic]]? Yet you use his word as evidence of my bad faith? Am I to understand that I am limited in the number of attempts I may make to find a compromise in a single day, or some time span? If these edits had been made over 48 hours instead of 24, would it still be blockable? If I had responded on my or the article talk page saying, "It's in the source" (as I had indicated in my edit summary) would my edits still be blockable? If I had messaged him on his talk page asking him to stop POV pushing, would that have been considered "discussion" ?

You had clear cut reversions twice, and two other edits that changed the wording of the same text to be something more akin to a point of view. In essence, you removed text on 4 different occasions to be more akin to your liking (whether by outright deletion of it or by redacting it to say the opposite of what it originally said). In my book, that's 4 the equivalent of 4 reverts. Worse, no, you didn't use any talk at all, save to drop a template on the user you were edit warring with. And yes the user did attempt to discuss with you; it's in the section immediately above, which you ignored entirely (false warnings given by this user after the fact have nothing to do with you not discussing with him: that is a [[red herring]]).
To address your final point about "good faith" - I see no reason whatsoever to assume greater faith on your part than of a new user who attempted to discuss it while you didn't.
Finally, to address the point of "don't block if in doubt" - how about "don't edit war if in doubt [let alone play around the line with 3RR], especially if you've been blocked for it 6 times before and told repeatedly that you're being obstinate and need to knock it off." If you can't see the problem with that after 4 admins have told you the issue on just this occasion (neverminding the others), then you either [[WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT|aren't listening]] or you have a personality type that refuses to admit any wrong, which is very problematic for your continued editing of contentious articles on Wikipedia.
I've addressed this quite directly, and frankly more directly than I think should be necessary. I also might point out your lack of humility on the issue is only ensuring that your requests are being denied ([[WP:GAB]]).
