User talk:Teseaside

I'm sorry, but after reading up on Mr Merkey's history, particularly his tendency to sue people, I'd rather my ISP email address stayed well away from any kind of wikipedia storage. That said, if you want confirmation of who I am IRL, mail my registered email address, and I'll happily reply direct to you from my ISP account.

Yes, I'm familiar with the way wikipedia works, and yes, my account is only a week or so old. My personal reasons for finally registering after years of using wikipedia as a first hit for research are given here and here, and can be summed up, in short, as "I don't like the overtly political edits Mr Merkey is making on something that I feel attached to". I haven't gone as far as reverting edits, calling people trolls, sockpuppets or spambots, violating the 3rr or being out-and-out rude, as Mr Merkey has. I haven't managed to get 2 distinct entries on WP:ANI either, for that matter. I do feel somewhat sorry for Mr Merkey, though, and there's no hard feelings toward him for my block. He's obviously being trolled something rotten, and it's good that the administrators have taken some action, but I do feel that I've been caught up in it all inadvertently.Teseaside 19:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I know. I'm paranoid.


 * Tell you what. Just forget it.  Forget I ever existed.  I really can't be bothered with this bullshit.  Somebody comes tramping in, starts hackand-slash editing a sensitive article, wielding his mighty POV as the only possible truth, labels everyone who disagrees as trolls, and somehow this is OK.  He boasts of his massive donations to Wikipedia - well, if he's donated, good on him, but that shouldn't mean he should be able to make edits willy-nilly.  Look at his fucking edit history, for christ's sake.  The people he's not trying to get banned, he's trying to drive away.  Just rename it "Merkeypedia" and be done with it.


 * I have a bunch of stuff I was going to post that's utterly non-related to Cherokees or anything Mr Merkey would even consider interesting. If I get round to it, maybe I'll bother to log in as an anon once my IP has changed, and upload it.  If not, well, I won't.  No great loss, WP has lived without my edits until now, ad will continue to live without them tomorrow.

 * The above rant written under the influence of frustration. Thanks to User:Netsnipe, for calming me down a bit.Teseaside 08:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
