That was me. I don't believe that non-liberals are
stupid. At the time I was banned (approx. 1 min after
my account was created), I had made no edits aside
from creating my userpage and editing User:Liberal's
talk page. I intended to use the account to make
completely NPOV edits on articles related US politics
to prove that usernames are irrelavent, but I was
banned before I could do that. I started with
User:Liberal, but JamesDay and Angela said that that
wouldn't be enough to prove my point (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Liberal/deny_freedom_of_speech).
Then, without *any* discussion but this one post, I
was banned. The exact opposite of my point. This sets
two bad precedents: banning users because of their
usernames, and banning a logged in user without any
discussion (I thought that the RK ban set that second
one, but now I've found out there was discussion). If
you uphold the ban, I will leave wikipedia. I could
easily circumvent the ban by restarting my router, but
if you really want me to leave, I will. Some people
voiced concerns that I used two accounts to do this,
and I'm sorry for that; I didn't think of that.
Camembert said that this was a childish point to make,
but I don't see why. Maybe this is because I am a
child. Maybe Wikipedia isn't a place for children.
