The end
Yeah, it's one year delayed. The public announcement below in which I announced my departure was back in January. I tried to change my cynical attitude toward the project and give it another shot. It didn't work. It ain't never gonna work. Ban-evading socks are still allowed to roam around harassing editors and POV pushing all over the place. Factions and cabals are formed to scheme a plan to drive certain editors off the project. (for instance, my arbCom case). I don't think any good faith editors would wanna work in such an oppressive environment, unless, of course, they got nothing better to do. I came back last month after a 5 months hiatus realizing things would never change for the better. If an identified sockpuppet of a fucking troll can request a username change while an established editor who got set-up by a shameless faction in the community is denied this privilege, then the system is fucked up. Seriously, this is a just a bloody username change under the due process, as simple as that. I don’t understand why the ‘crats gotta listen to a troll/sockpuppet. What a blatant example of hypocrisy and double-standard.
In reflection, I have to say that I’m quite proud of the way I acted on wikipedia. My proudest achievements are defending the right to use joke banners during the UI spoofing incident, relentless pursuit of RevolverOcelotX and his ban-evading socks against overwhelming adversity, standing up against admin Jiang for his blatant racism on Taiwanese, and fighting with a factions of POV pushers who clearly want me out of the project (Sumple, blueshirt, Ideogram, RevolverOcelotX, Ben Aveling, Wizardman, Jiang, Aquarius, etc). I’m happy to say that I lasted longer than most of them.
To the trolls, racists, admis who abuse editors, sockpuppets, and others (y’all know who you are), keep wasting your time, I ain’t gonna stop y’all. To the good-faith people out-there, there is more to life than ‘pedia. Live your lives to the fullest instead of wasting it online.
Wikipedia needs a revolution. Otherwise, there is no hope. Anyway, I’m here only for the arbcom election. We’re at a crossroad. Make the right choice, vote the right people.
China=shame! Long live joke banners.

[edit] Public Announcement
This is most likely the last time that I address to fellow wikipedians. For some of you who have been following my contributions closely, you may have noticed a significant drop in recent edits. Yup, you're right, I'm officially outta here. I wouldn't rule out some occasional, random edits if I'm in the mood but you probably have seen the last of Bonafide Hustla.
I gotta admit I'm not the best editor on here "temperament-wise". But it should be noted that many Taiwan-related articles are gang-patrolled by Chinese editors, some of them admins. Sadly, no one is willing to take on the case. The other issue is User:Centrx disregard official blocking policy and abuse of admin power. He also move page without consensus and block me for 1 second (unjustified). Both of these are definitely no-no for admins.
Recently, Bish and Giano both left the project. This only emphasizes obvious flaws of the project. I don't blame Jimbo. His idea is great but it just doesn't work anymore as more and more editors join in.
Anyway, 'nuff said already and this is poorly-written anyway. Jiang and RevolverOcelotX have fun POV pushing all you like. (get a life y'all) I got better things to do. holla--Certified.Gangsta 22:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Have one on me
Sorry to see you go, Boney. :-( Me, I haven't left, I've only determined I'm leaving iff. You know, iff Giano's pushed out. This is not a demonstration on my part, it's simply me not wanting to work in an environment that'll do such a thing. Definitely, absolutely, not wanting to. Have one on me, and here's hoping we all get to stick around no matter how dark it's looking right now. Bishonen | talk 22:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Your RFA
Hello Certified.Gangsta, I have closed your recent RFA as it had little to no chance of passing right now. Please review the concerns of the opposers, work at addressing their concerns over the next few months, and consider retrying then. Cheers, -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 05:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
