User talk:203.122.221.73

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a note here, and what I was going to write:

This is the history of User:Internodeuser:

On or about 14 May 2005, I made my first decent sized post, to add in personal testimony as an eye witness to the Port Arthur massacre, something which goes against policy of Wikipedia:No original research, a policy I was not at the time familiar with. I am an expert on the case and added in true and verified information about what happened, improving a grossly incompetent article. I made a number of side articles about important people who were involved as well.

As Wikipedia has a policy against allowing experts to write about subjects which they have personal testimony about, I had obviously accidentally gone against Wikipedia policy in doing this. I was blocked as a result.

I received numerous personal attacks from various editors, primarily administrators, in relation to this, and was blocked several times whilst trying to come to a compromise on what Wikipedia thought would be acceptable.

A week or so later, after my 10th or so block, I decided to respond for the first time, and called everyone who had blocked me morons, and wrote to them individually to explain to them just how stupid they were for doing that, and just how bad their behaviour was. I was blocked for doing this. 3 times.

I thus investigated what had happened, and how this had came to be. My conclusion was that User:Longhair was the only one of the people abusing me who had a personal reason to want to attack me, and hence that I thought that it was likely that he was behind it. The alternative explanation was that someone had gone on a power trip.

Based on this post, it seems that I was probably wrong, as it seems that User:Tony Sidaway had in fact started it, seemingly due to confusion about me being the same person who had inserted a penis picture in March. It may have been some kind of a power trip as well.

Nonetheless, once I made the suggestion that Longhair might have been involved, Longhair's attacks on me increased greatly, culminating in this post to the administrator's noticeboard.

Put simply, Longhair wanted my user page to be deleted on the basis that he considered my asking for him to stop abusing me as a "personal attack". I did not object to this, and indeed deleted it on his request, as I simply wanted him to stop abusing me.

Due to my technical inadequacy, combined with a number of pages being deleted from history, and spam filters used and so forth, I was unable to easily come up with a great many diffs as to the personal attacks against me, although I was able to prove that before I made my first "personal attack", to call someone a moron for banning me, I had already on my user talk page a dozen personal attacks primarily from administrators, and hence that I was retaliating and responding to abuse, and trying to get them to stop the abuse.

Put simply, the Request for Arbitration was designed to delete my user page, because Longhair felt that he would fail if he attempted to go through Votes for Deletion.

However, during the course of the Request for Arbitration, Longhair made legal threats against me, and then incorrectly listed them as me making legal threats to him. I then responded to these in my statement, which was also considered incorrectly to be a legal threat (it was not - it was a response to a legal threat). I did not in fact know that there was a rule forbidding legal threats, and I for one find it a bit silly to have such a rule. Had I known, I would have petitioned for Longhair to have been banned on that basis.

The legal threats was the sole reason for the 1 year ban. It has been proven that I did not make a single legal threat, hence it should have been removed.

During my time using the account User:Zordrac, I made thousands of edits without conflict or any problems, but stopped editing due to harassment from User:Antaeus Feldspar, and for no other reason. Subsequent to stopping, I maintained communication with some other users, and on the basis of supporting User:Poetlister and User:Mistress Selina Kyle, both of whom I felt were unfairly banned, User:Ambi wanted to ban me, and delivered to me several personal attacks on that basis.

I would like for the account name "Internodeuser" to be deleted, and for all "sock puppet" notices to be changed to "Zordrac" as I only used the name "Internodeuser" because I didn't want innocent people to be attacked by abusive Wikipedians. In other words, "Internodeuser" was the sock puppet of "Zordrac", as "Zordrac" was the real me.

And there is testimony from hundreds of users as to my good edits as Zordrac.

It was a pity that we "got off on the wrong foot" as it were, and perhaps I should have read through all of the policies first before writing anything. But what I wrote was encyclopaedic. It just wasn't written very well. And as a lot of people have noted, its all over the internet, and has been all over the internet for over 10 years. Yes, that helped them to discover that "Zordrac" equals "Internodeuser", but it also proves that what I said about the Port Arthur massacre was true. Or at the very least it proves that it is a very popular and well documented story, and worthy of inclusion in to an encyclopaedia.

But if Wikipedia doesn't want it, then I won't push it. Indeed, I will agree not to edit that article or related ones if you like - as Zordrac I did not make a single edit to an article like that.

So anyway, can people just get over themselves and unban all of these accounts? They've been banned for 8 months already, so I've already been punished. Let's end it now. And I won't even get mad if Longhair isn't banned for his attacks on me. I at least don't really care about punishing people who disagree with me. I just want them to stop their abuse. That's all it was ever about.

To correct the record: when Zordrac claims that I "harrassed" him, what he is really complaining about is that I did not take it lying down when he told malicious and knowingly false lies against me, such as this example (only one of many) from User:Zordrac/Poetlister:
08:16, 23 December 2005 User:Antaeus Feldspar, wrote to Zordrac supporting Lulu and implying that they both would stalk Zordrac until either he stopped trying to get Poetlister's ban reversed, or else was banned from Wikipedia. [[1]]
As anyone can see by checking the diff Zordrac published, there is no mention of any third party, not Lulu nor Poetlister nor anyone else. There is no mention of anything Zordrac is doing about Poetlister's ban or about any behavior of Zordrac's except his lying. There is no threat, implied or otherwise, to "stalk"; what there is is a direct promise to provide all the evidence of his lying, if he ever followed through on his frequently-repeated threats to bring an RfAr against me. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm not even going to buy into any of this. Once was enough. -- Longhair 16:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
