and I will

Dear Jim,
 
I give up.  I have posted the following at page talk:cherokee.  Please unlock and DELETE all content authored by me and I will flag the pages I created for deletion.  I will notify Dr. Delso tommorrow and I will be recommending some other on-line project for us to pursue.  I am less than pleased with the handling of this site and you have not kept your word to me.  As such, I am recommending to my people to NOT support this site.   

Jeff V. Merkey

I have been out most of the day and have reviewed what's gone on here on this site since I have been out with my wife and son.  I have asked Marty (mmartin) to cease in posting me to this section or this article, and to be honest, while it strokes my ego a great deal, I cannot support a sewer site like this one based upon what I have seen go on here.  I am a member of the Nation but I am not going to post private information to this site, or allow  this ""lynch mob"" mentality to go on here, nor do I have to image my tribal card and post it to the internet to satisfy some anonymous poster from Australia.  I have had several conversations over the past week with user:Jimbo_Wales about the activities that go on with this site, and at this point, I am going to recommend to Dr. Delso at the Cherokee Nation education department at the Nation that I cease my support of this site.  I had intended and begun a full tutorial on our language and had already begun it with the translations and cultural information section.  In short, user:Jimbo_Wales WORD IS NO GOOD and he is a LIAR.  He gave me his assurances that these types of attacks would not go on here, but what has happened in the SCOX message board has basically moved to this site and have continued their stalking and harrassment and it has continued unabated.  At this point, this in not constructive for my people or my culture to support an organization that simply allows ""thundering herd"" libel and personal attacks on individuals, reverts and defacement of information, and the so-called ""admins"" of this site are just as immature, if not more so, than the persons engaging in libel.  As such, I am reverting and removing and marking for deletion all content I have contributed to date.  I have been very unimpressed with the people on this site running it.  It appears to be a group of immature high schoolers and college graduates who cannot tell the difference between adults and children.  Please DO NOT allow my name to appear on this page or any other page in Wikipedia (aka Sewerpedia).  Sincerely.   "
