I'm not sure want I'm meant to say so will try my best to list everything that happened. The mess in my view started when Curps blocked me for welcoming new (Aunt_Amanda was one such user). Something I was encouraged to do. He says that I should have logged in...I was for a majority of them...look at my user contribs. Somewhere along the line...I got logged out though, and when I found this out I made sure to re-log in. I was block, albeit maybe for a mistake, but it wouldn't have escalated any farther if Curps had been decent enough to answer one of messages I left on the IP talk page or my own talk page.

To get his attention I started trailing banners of text which mighn't have been the best way of alerting him, but it was the only way since he wasn't patrolling my talk and I had elected not to give my e-mail to wikipedia. The only answer I recieved for my efforts, was Zoe "protecting" my talk page. If she'd just said "I'll look into it, but in the mean time please stop" I would have. I wasn't trying to cause the "disruption" that I was wrongfully block for...just alert others of what happened in hopes of being unblocked, and able to contribute again.

After having my talk blocked I continued on with my IP account, which wasn't smart, but was the only thing I could do...eventually though I just gave up and called my IP provider to get it switched.

Once it was switched I decided to tell a few admins of what happened incase I was re-blocked...then I told curps of what happened. He replied, but didn't apoligize for his hasty block nor for his lack of procedure in watching the talk pages. Unblocked as I was though I decided just to avoid trouble, and work on my ethnick article, a wikipedia blocked user sandbox which I thought would help avoid similiar circumstances in the future (It was deleted), and a few other articles.

I didn't stay on for long though because Nandesuka sent me the following message:


 * If I ever see you spamming recent changes in that way again — whatever the reason — I will block you for several days on general principles. Nandesuka 07:23, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Angered by my recent block and by her message I said:


 * You know what Nandesuka. I don't need your two cents...the block was unreasonable, and if Curps took two seconds to read my contributions along with my messages as he should have none of it would happen. If someone answered the first two "spamms" it wouldn't have gone any farther. So please get out of my wikispace...Chooserr

Then I was blocked for "spamming the recent changes board and being unrepentant about doing so", which in my opinion is the stupidest reason for a block. I didn't threaten to do it again, I just explained my I did it trying to justify my actions and asked her not to visit my talk page again. Also the line "unrepentant about doing so" would imply that if I said "sorry" I wouldn't have been blocked??? I think she gravely abused her power as an admin because my comment was that of someone angered by an unwarranted block.

On an aside there was an incident with a user whose name I believed inappropriate for wikipedia; I added a template titled Ina - short for inappropriate - to his talk page. It may have been worded wrongly but I was truelly trying to provide a service to the community. When he asked me why I'd added him, I deleted is question from my talk page, which while not very nice isn't against wikipedia policy. After he re-added it maybe two times I replied using the PAGENAME template because I didn't want to type his name. In that message I explained why I thought his name wasn't right, and asked him to not visit my talk again. This incident doesn't have anything to do with my block IMHO, but might be brought up by some of these users.


 * Well well! Looks like your opinion meant jack monkey squat in the end. Thanks for the laugh, spammer. --50.104.62.34 (talk) 08:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
