Ryulong, real name Michael, has stalked me. He
has obviously ben
searching
for my real name. I made some comments on Wikiversity under an IP address
not in my known range, signed my real name. These posts had no link
whatsoever to a userpage on another wiki. The only way Ryulong could have
found those posts, connected it, found my IP address, and blocked it on
enwiki, is doing searches on my real name, either for the express purpose
of
looking for new IP addresses, or (more likely) some strange stalker hunt.
It
would be awkward for someone to search for the real name of a person to
find
sockpuppets or IPs, unless he knows I've moved since I had IPs in the
68.224.0.0/17 range, in which case he's still on a stalkerish hunt for
me.
This is not the place for such complaints. Try the Administrators
Noticeboard in the first instance.
You must not know who I am, about my ban, and how many ways and times I have
been told "Fuck you" by higher-up Wikipedians.
My name is Jonas Rand, and I live in Nevada. I was banned a long time ago,
and the ban still stayed.
I became a member of Wikipedia Review shortly after I stopped vandalising
and began editing regularly. I posted on there some comments critical of
Wikipedia, not really in a mature fashion. I also found out about things
there, such as Ryulong's RFC. When I looked at the abusive blocks he had
made (he apologised, but continues to be rude nowadays), I decided to
comment on it, requesting that he be desysopped. I still maintain that he
should be desysopped, however the way I phrased the comment and the reasons
that I thought he should have been desysopped for (to see how it feels) made
people think I was trolling. I was new in the field of Wikidrama. So I was
blocked for a week. After I sockpuppeteered during that block, when I was
let back in, I tried to remove the sockpuppeteer template, as it was
unseemly and I thought it made me look like I was blocked. So I called
Ryulong names. I harassed him, and he was rude to me. Then, Josh Gordon came
in and threatened me with a 1-month block, not seeing that his friend
Ryulong was not willing to negotiate with me. I realised his threat was
serious, the hard way.
I created more and more sockpuppets over more and more bans, eventually
leading to an indefinite block by someone who obviously meatpuppets for
Slimvirgin, Crum375. It was for harassing SV with a sockpuppet.
I don't believe the ban is unfair, I think that it shouldn't be permanent.
There is also no reason to harass me by being so obsessed with me as to do
google searches for my real name to check for sockpuppets.
Of course, I won't be going through the trouble to find an unblocked open
web proxy, create a sockpuppet, post to the AN, and get reverted as a troll
by Luna Santin ;).
To Josh, because I know you read this list, I'm sorry for the abusive
e-mails and disruption, I've realised my mistake, but you must realise as
well that Ryulong wasn't acting very nice, either. I hope this can be
resolved.
