Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the
Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --

I note that at least one editor has complained about your canvassing of messages to this point and I request that you cease such activity as it can lead to blocking of your account.-- VS talk 22:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

To VirtualSteve:
If you are still looking - it appears as I predicted, Krimpet has blocked me claiming I am a "sockpuppet" - of user:1948remembered.
I am saddened to see it come to this but the experience has shown me that you were incorrect about wikipedia and the behavior of administrators.
129.7.146.249 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
it appears as I predicted, Krimpet has blocked me claiming I am a "sockpuppet" - of user:1948remembered
Decline reason:
I am informed that you are not considered a sock-puppet of 1948remembered but rather that you have been trolling and disrupting with various dynamic IPs, all geolocated to Houston, TX, for the last few days both here and on IRC where he was harassing people. He's not a "sockpuppet" per se, rather just yet another reincarnation of the same exact user as detailed here. I have no reason at this stage to dispute Krimpet's assessment and I will not wheel war with another admin when I have been in discussion with the blocked editor. I remind you that you have other avenues to persist with your claim should you disagree.— -- VS talk 23:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
129.7.146.249 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
see below
Decline reason:
Suffice to say people are justifiably suspicious when an IP editor shows up out of nowhere to discuss the behavior of an administrator, and it sounds from the above like there is plenty of good reason to be suspicious in this case. Of course, people can edit anonymously here which means we can never really know, but that doesn't mean we should ignore suspicious situations. Just wait the block out. (There really aren't any other avenues that make sense for a temporary block like this.) Mango juice talk 15:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have never been on IRC, I have only edited from one place (though I suspect my IP may have changed, as they do from time to time), and I do not know why Krimpet claims it is "trolling" to discuss the misgivings I have about the behavior of an administrator or the Wikipedia system.
I am saddened that it seems even apparently well-meaning wikipedians cannot act in good faith, but your actions are proving the accusations of your most vehement critics to be quite true.
I would be interested in seeing the supposed "other avenues" you detail, but as I understand the policies, they all rely on my having to email people and sit through tedious, months-long procedures in order to even get a hearing, and the external accounts I have seen (which include many links to on-wikipedia history) all indicate that these are little more than staged farces designed to protect the very behavior I was concerned about seeing.
