This is very sweet Jorm. Does that mean you are an Administrator? Should I obey your every whim? Is it time to move a service such as Wikipedia OUT of the USA perhaps? Is the Electronic Frontier at risk? Did Aaron Swartz sacrifice so much for nothing?

Legal threats
Hi. FYI, you should avoid suggestions that a particular edit might result in lawsuits (see WP:Legal threats), for example in the edit summary of this edit). Best wishes. --RegentsPark (comment) 18:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

A discussion as to whether material is libelous is not a legal threat.Rian Geldenhuys (talk) 20:22, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Warning about remaining civil
Your post at the Teahouse was unacceptable. You have no cause to call everyone there 'evil'. This is not a US project, but a world-wide one. If you can't manage to remain WP:CIVIL, then Wikipedia may not be the right platform for you. Nick Moyes (talk) 17:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Nick Moyes - I am asking why I am sanctioned for having "shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States". If you can not help me with the reasons then please just say so. No need to be uncivil with me.
