I don't have much to go on with the closing statement: ''"Closing with a consensus towards an indef block, plus my own admin judgment in that direction"''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=855723651#User:Robertinventor,_again]. Though there was a consensus to block me, there was no consensus in the debate about what I was charged with.

I defended it so vigorously not because it expressed my own views but because the action deleted NASA's views
