From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You know what?
Fuck it.
I mean, I bust my ass here, spend 2-3 hours a day on Wikipedia, and for what? Oh, that's right. Nothing.
Fuck all my 2000 edits, fuck the program I started, fuck the article I created which made it on DYK, fuck the system inferface page which I contributed to.
Just because someone in power has a bug up his ass, I get randomly chosen as Today's Featured Scapegoat. And indefinitely banned. And trolled by the blocking administrator. And spat on by ArbCom.
I don't know what it is about this place that makes me want to stay. I really don't. This entire shitball happened once before. I came back.
So I don't know if I'm leaving now. I suppose I am, but I can't really. Inside, I'll still be a Wikipedian screaming to come back and edit more. Even if I can find something else to fill my time, I'll wind up editing anonymously. Fixing grammar, leaving comments on talk pages. Little things.
It seems pretty unlikely I'll ever be unblocked. And that makes me sad, because I have so much to give to the community. I've given so much to Wikipedia, and it's given so much to me.
I guess that's really part of the problem, too. For one, anyone who offends is looked at as a common vandal. I don't think that it would have been that easy to block me if first, someone took the time to look at my contributions. See what I've done over there years I've been here. But instead, the only thing that comes into consideration is the bad things I've done. That's like blocking the United States because of the Iraq War. We all fuck up sometimes, and some of us fuck up bigger and more often than others. You just have to deal with the fuck-ups that happen occasionally.
And ArbCom is a joke. It's more of a useless heap that's shoved in the corner so people can say, "take it to ArbCom if you have a problem" and act like there's a solution. But there isn't. It's near-impossible to file a request. And you have to do thousands of other useless processes before you can even hope to get it to ArbCom. On the slight chance that you do get your case filed, it will most likely be refused because it was "nominated out of process" or simply because the arbitrators don't give a damn.
I'm a student in eighth grade. I'm not the most mature person in the world; there's no doubt about that. Most eighth graders aren't. But I do have some things to contribute. And I'm not perfect; nobody is, especially not me. You can't expect me to act like a saint all the time. I get angry sometimes. Trolling and ignoring doesn't help.
So, in summary...

Request reason: "Please, shorten the block. To a couple months, or at least a year. I know I'm not ready yet, but I will be someday. It hurts."
Decline reason: "No, as you've made very clear in your tirade above you have no intention of trying to behave more appropriately on Wikipedia. We are all tired of dealing with your harassment, abuse and trolling. The mess you have caused outweighs the positive contributions you have made. When you have matured to the point that you can contribute without throwing tantrums every couple of weeks, we'll reconsider. As you say, you aren't ready yet. Gwernol 21:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)"

Request reason: "Just tell me this: How long will it take? How long before I can be a good person?"
Decline reason: "Flameviper, we honestly don't have time for this. You've been blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry, disruption, and vandalism. The community has decided that you no longer merit editing privileges. As such, I'm declining this request and locking this page. Please find other places to spend your time.
