Block evasion
I hope I can edit here.

Let me set out right from the start, the only reason I looked at my own user page was to ensure the block was still in place. Actually I went through Wikipedia search results (WP's own search engine) and to my surprise neither my own user page nor the talk page were listed in the results, yet several subpages, on various topics that I have edited over the years, were listed on the search page (subpages that I could never find to delete them G7 because I can never remember where I put them, usually on little fiddly discussions that were amicably resolved to make the encyclopaedia better, which is what I thought we were here for).

I came to here this morning and to my surprise – I may be mistaken – the IP was not blocked. I have not attempted to go through various other completely different IPs that I have that would escape the IP block anyway, I have not edited in any way. I hgave assumed good faith but I believe I have a right to reply and I did not exactly choose the least obvious nickname in the world if I wanted to evade a ban for User:SimonTrew, it is patently ridiculous to say that is evading a block when I have used my user nick with a 2 added on the end, it is hardly as if I am WP:SOCKPUPPET.

So much for being honest. I was genuinely surprised that the IP was not blocked (as far as I can see) and I have not attempted to try it nor the original username nor to create a sockpuppet. I ask for a right of reply. In my mind, Wikipedia, which proclaims freedom of speech, clamps down on freedom of speech when it gets someone who will stand up to their bullying tactics.


 * I have not sworn
 * Have not sent porn
 * Have not lied
 * But have been tried


 * Found guilty but without a trial
 * Tis WMF that!s in denial
 * I will ask court delete my various
 * Contrubutions, multifarious


 * Oér the years, you don't want those
 * (at least as far as I suppose)
 * You cannot have your cake and eat it
 * I the blame, WMF to cheat it


 * I volunteer, I get the blame
 * Tis Neelix (and there is no shame)
 * I went through taking comity
 * On a few thousand, keep, RfD
 * Now I am one who gets the flak
 * But I am one who answers back


 * You cannot be both shit and sewer
 * Choose which, while I go see the lewyer

I imagine impersonation will be added to the the WMF's defence even though plainly nobody is impersonating anybody. I am no WP:SOCKPUPPET. It is WP's loss really and no wonder it loses many thousands of volunteers a year, but I am the first and last that actually has the guts to mount a legal challenge and I have been in court more times than Jimmy Wales (and won about half the time, so he can hedge his bets). Mz dander is up. I have no intention to drag Wikimedia through the mud, nor Wikipedia, but since editors are responsible for their posts I think they should be allowed a right of reply. I got none. WP:NOTDEMOCRACY has nothing to do with due process. When you analyse it, I got banned because some people did not like that I was deleting, keeping and referring to RfD various Neelix redirects, so I am the fall guy for Neelix. I can live with that. Wikipedia just harms its own reputation for fairness. I will expect as part of the legal settlement you remove ALL my contributions. That's going to be fun but of litigation.

 * And Wikimedia or Wikipedia has the temerity when I read its site to ask me to contribute to donations even though it patently knows my IP address that it is serving it to! Oh, we ban your IP address, but we send an ad to your IP address asking us for donations (which I do every year anyway but don't bloody put it on a t shirt). What hypocrisy!

 * So the right to reply I hope is still open here at this user talk page. It was in no way a block evasion otherwise I should have perhaps taken a less obvious nick or edited under IP from a completely different IP range (what I pointed out, perhaps not so well, was that I was banned on that IP range and actually my wife User:Monkap would also have been editing on that IP range if she bothered to edit any more, but since Hungarian WP is even more authoritarian than English WP she hasn't bothered for several years, but I think you should probably ban that one too.... I can see someone is doing their homework when both user pages say we are man and wife and except for slips have always and copy-editing each other have always done under our own user names, but you can take out the whole series of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 the subsidiary battle articles and various translated maps, navboxes and infoboxes and so on if you want, because the copyright still rests in me. I may have granted WP a perpetual licence, but when it offends me then it offends that licence and I revoke it. It can take out every contribution I have ever put in to WP. User:Monkap can speak for herself, I am not putting words in her mouth.)

"Power without responsibility -- the prerogative of the harlot through the ages". -- Stanley Baldwin. That is exactly what WP is doing to me, to Neelix, to many other responsible, intelligent, good-faith editors. Neelix was wrong but was trying to make Wikipedia better. I tried to correct some of those errors now I am wrong. Well go to it. Even Jimmy Wales left the project to set up Wikipedia, so I don't know why we volunteers bother to put up with this crap. You have just lost someone who translates French and Hungarian articles, who can quote you fowler's Modern English Usage even though he has it in three different editions, has a bookshelf full of reference books and does maps and railway diagrams (you tried the intricacies of Template:RDT and its subsidiaries?) and God knows what. I am an everyman, or as you would probably put it, jack of all trades and master of none. Wikipedia just lost another good editor. I am done with it until I have my day in court. I asked for my right of reply and this is it. That is all I asked for, and I thank you for it. I did not impersonate or I would have chosen a less likely nick or edited under IP, I have done neither of those things. In fact I seem to recall the IP was originally blocked (I didn't bother to try whether it was) but seems not to be now. I am informing you that User:Monkap is my wife and has nothing to do with this, she is aware of it but in no ways has any part of it, otherwise why should I tell you? But she doesn't edit here much at all now since being told off on Hungarian WP for being better than a Hungarian professor about the English Tudors, her favourite subject. ''The only time I have ever seen her cry. She spent days doing those articles to be told I know everything on the subject and they have to get past me''. WP:NOTDEMOCRACY maybe, but WP:OLIGARCHY, certainly. I want no more part of it and since copyright rests in me and I am responsible for the content I will legally challenge Wikipedia to remove it. All of it. Believe me, I win about half, so it is going to be fun. Especially if I put it in the Hungarian court and you will have to hire Hungarian translators at your own expense. Perhaps Wikimedia Foundation can ask for donations, like it asks me for donations at the same time it bans me from making the encylopaedia better. Perhaps it has not heard of the clean hands doctrine. Well, it is gonna be a lot of fun.
