 * I'm not attacking you. Per wikipedia policy, once you submit content to the site, it is not yours to revoke. There is no wikipedia policy called "wikisuicide". You are welcome to blank your own talk page (with the exception of currently active block notices), and you are welcome to redact comments made (either by striking them out using html, responding to them, or using the template). However, removing comments already made is not permitted, since they are now an integral part of an active discussion in which other editors have contributed.


 * Warnings on an ip talk page can also not be removed, per wikipedia policy, since that ip address may (now, or in the future) be owned by another person.


 * If you wish to leave wikipedia, you can. I think that's unfortunate, but it is ultimately your decision. However, you can't violate policy by removing necessary content in the process. What you're doing right now will result in a block of your ip address, which will prevent you from editing anything at all. I'd recommend not going down that route.


 * I'd welcome you to come back in 2 weeks, once your block has expired, and try to work collaboratively on the Acupuncture article by contributing to our ongoing discussions on the talk page. For now, there's not much else you can do, aside from requesting an unblock.
