This IP address has been involved in a lot of vandalism. Since you seem to

strongly urge you to seek counseling for internet addiction.

Users of Wikipedia,
I write in earnest emotional trauma. I am a self-diagnosed wikiaddict,
both
in editing and reading, I have been a prolific wikipedia user and editor
for
quite a while now, I am not sure exactly how long, but I feel suitably
attached to wikipedia to feel sincerely aggrieved, due to my recent
blocking. My username is Jdcooper, and my IP address 128.243.220.42. When
attempting to revert some vandalism today I was informed that User:Golbez
has blocked me with the highly descriptive reasoning: "vandal". As someone
who has never so much as THOUGHT of vandalising an article in my life, and
as someone who gets highly troubled by wikivandalism, I was, I feel
legitimately, sent into a devastating panic by such allegations. My only
explanation is that, as I am editing from a university network (University
of Nottingham, Great Britain, if anyone cares) with over 5,000 users,
vandalism from one of said users may have been disproportionately
punished.
Whatever the case, I can assure everyone, particularly Golbez, that I am
the
furthest from a vandal you could ever hope to meet. I am a
non-confrontational user who generally busies himself with correcting
spelling mistakes, reverting vandalism, merging duplicates and sorting
stubs. I have e-mailed Golbez about the misunderstanding (as I am sure
this
is) but I am unfamiliar with this kind of process (that of unblocking),
as,
not being a vandal, this has never happened to me before. I urge someone
who
can help me to do so, as I am anxious to get back to editing, my life is
all
but meaningless without it.
Yours hopefully,
Jdcooper
