Hi Alavery7!
Your description sounds a bit like me! MPLX/MH 18:26, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Problems
I followed the links to see where the sudden decision to remove text had come from and I noted your request to Sam. Unfortunately Sam decided that I was the author of stuff that I had not written. But all of this happened while I was responding to you and one other contributor. Since Sam then made a move over what I had raised as a possibility, I then removed all of the other material that would fall into the same category. Sometimes it is better to keep a discussion going with the original parties than to bring in someone from out of the blue. Just as well that I am thick skinned and that I don't really care one way or the other, since it is in the nature of what Wikipedia is. I thought that you would like to know that nothing is private and nothing is personal on Wikipedia. It is about as communistic in the real sense of the word as it can get.
