User talk:Scrooby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am leaving Wikipedia for good. Being accused of lying is very unpleasant. Elsewhere, the editor MarnetteD refers to me by my real name. I hope this can be changed. According to the Wikipedia rules, my real name can be removed.

- I respect your right to vanish, but please don't do it by wiping out an entire chunk of a talk page. --GoodDamon 03:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

- Again, please be more judicious in your edit. Feel free to replace every instance of it with something else, or somesuch. But you shouldn't wipe out that big chunk of the talk page.
GoodDamon, I can't believe Wikipedia has the audacity to even enter into further communication with me. Have you no sense of decency? Leave me alone. I was unjustly accused of being a liar, accused by anonymous people (cowards). That makes me burn. This entire experience has made me physically sick. Wikipedia unjustly accused me of being a liar.
- I don't know if this helps, but I'm not a Wikipedia admin. I'm just a random editor who happened to stumble on your deletions. I'm sorry for your experience here. --GoodDamon 03:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
GoodDamon, maybe you should think about leaving this mess of a site, this cancer on the world of information, and join Citizendium.
Well, GoodDamon, being called a liar in print is what is known as libel.
[edit] Your threats
Hello Scrooby. I have received your various messages. In response, I would like to make the following points:
- You associated your real name with your account here. This occurred well before I ever did so and is, in fact, the basis on which I did so. Now you no longer wish to have your real name associated with your account, which is fine. In light of those wishes, I certainly will not use your real name on Wikipedia any more. However, it is all together absurd for you to suggest that I be banned for doing so when you had given every indication that you were quite happy to have your real name identified with your account.
- You have indicated that you are in communication with "Wikipedia" about this ([1]). I have no idea who it is that you're in touch with, but the appropriate avenue would be to report this at WP:ANI.
- You have requested in your sock puppet case that my IP be provided to you ([2]. Nobody at Wikipedia is going to provide you with my IP address (in fact, very few even have the ability to do so, and it is very unlikely that any of those who do will see your message). However, if you would care to send me an e-mail, I would be happy to provide you with all of the personally identifying information about me that would be necessary to continue our delightful correspondence off-wiki - my e-mail address can be found on my user page. In fact, if you don't trust me to provide you with my correct information, you could probably find out everything you need to know through a moderately intensive bit of Googling of the information on my userpage.
- At no point have I said anything that is in any way defamatory - and, in any event, truth is an absolute defense against charges of defamation.
This will be the end of our on-Wiki communication, as you have resorted to legal threats in direct contravention of WP:NLT. If there is anything else you need to say to me directly, I have told you where to find my e-mail address. All the best. Sarcasticidealist 08:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, the chattering of monkeys, I've gone over to Citizendium, already donated $50.00, started the Kubrick page (per a personal request by Larry Sanger), started the Alfred Schnittke page, contributed to the Jacques Derrida page, added a new section to the Massachusetts history page (in tandem with a venerable professor from Yale); began the bibliography for the Assassination of President Kennedy page; and so on. It's so much fun there, because people are immensely intelligent, whereas here, the people I've come in contact with are idiotic and absurd, pigheaded and redundant. (However, to be absolutely fair, I have to give you credit for one thing: for revealing your true name and address to me. That's something. Maybe they could use you at Citizendium. Do you have the academic requirements?) Wikipedia truly is an abomination, a cancer on the world of information (it can't be stressed enough), and all of the silly illiterate Wiki people are like vile rogue cells floating about, contaminating the body of the Internet. Imagine, "editors" who can't even spell. (See MarnetteD's page, for example.) It's pathetically woeful. Adios and good luck.Scrooby 13:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
