Wikipedia talk:Suspected sock puppets/Omeomi

WikiPedia Community--I am a real person and I do work at Teachers_College,_Columbia_University. For some reason the IP Address where I live is blocked (because of some user I have never heard of). If you read my post from the deletion review where I was accused of being a sock puppet I noted at the beginning of my post that I was new to this. I fully intend to make future contributions and find it surprising that I am under suspicion for being a sock puppet or somehow faking my job or identity. Is this just the normal protocol here? Why, also, such vitriol against ZuluPad! So curious. I will post again soon, and would like to invite anyone in the greater New York metropolitan area to come by this Wednesday when I teach my next podcasting class. I do want to be part of this community it's just difficult when you're suspected of not-existing or only having a single purpose. --Cyber Shepherd (talk) 22:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
