As for the rest of the charges, 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]. From the discussion itself however, I think I do have to answer these three charges:
 
* '''''The community decision was to delete my article for saying that Mars is not known to be sterile and for quoting: "The environment on Mars potentially is basically one giant dinner plate for Earth organisms"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FModern_Mars_habitability&diff=prev&oldid=855472459].''''' This is what the sanction debate calls [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE]. However, it is NASA's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view WP:POV].

{{quote|"The salts known as perchlorates that lower the freezing temperature of water at the R.S.L.s, keeping it liquid, can be consumed by some Earth microbes. “The environment on Mars potentially is basically one giant dinner plate for Earth organisms,” Dr. Conley said."}} </ref>, not me. She meant, depending on local conditions such as the presence of brines but the article explains this when it introduces the quote[http://deletionpedia.org/en/Modern_Mars_habitability#cite_ref-32]. I do accept this decision and will not edit Wikipedia to include this view if unblocked. However, please don't require me to call it [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE] as an unblock requirement, thanks.
