Although I do agree that Sportsfan 1234 contributions are often non productive and this user don't bring much to the table rather than hate in the community, I do find it ridiculous hearing that their contributions is brining articles up to Wikipedia standards, considering that their are extremely biased towards Canadian sport and Northern American sport articles and often have much poorer standards or nobility requirements towards those... Let's be honest, one day he will end up in your shoes too...
On the other hand, I've observed Raymarcbadz doing the exact same things to Olympic articles that they are complaining about. I've seen numerous unnecessary edits reverting contributions from other editors or rewriting it to own liking without justification over the years... I do hope you get your editing rights back, but you might want to reflect are you not acting the same?
I'm not really active on English wikipedia as all of my contributions are directed in other languages wikis and I only refer to English wiki when looking for inspiration or some good references, as I do think at the moment there are too many cooks in the kitchen and there's nothing but fights amongst the editors in sports community...
